CORRIDOR CARE NOW 'ENDEMIC'
EVERY emergency department in Wales is caring for patients in corridors, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine has said.
The College, which represents emergency clinicians across the UK, has called on the Welsh government to prevent corridor care, branding it "dangerous, degrading, dehumanising".
A snapshot survey carried out on three days over January and February revealed that all 12 Welsh emergency departments had people being treated in corridors or waiting areas.
Of the average total of 619 patients present in EDs at the time, 13.5% were being treated on trolleys in corridors and other inappropriate spaces.
