This is why the Tories have to go..

AN undercover reporter is moved to tears in a shocking documentary that reveals the chaos rampant in the NHS.

During a two-month stint of secret filming, Robbie Boyd weeps when a seriously ill patient has to urinate in front of 30 people.

He says: "If that was my family member, I'd be fuming. It's so awful, I'm so angry right now... if that was my parent. It's just so undignified."

In response to the film, Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting said: "These findings paint a distressing picture of what the Conservatives have done to our NHS over the past 14 years.

"People are forced to wait entire days in agony, they are being denied their dignity and lives are lost avoidably.

"The NHS is broken. It can't go on like this, but the only way to get change is to vote for it." Robbie is staggered by what he sees at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital for Channel Four's Dispatches.

He highlights waiting times of up to 46 hours, terrible hygiene standards and patients lying in corridors as staff are overwhelmed on a daily basis.
