NHS Corridor Care Crisis Exposed
from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!
NHS data reveals a shocking crisis: over 90,000 patients last month received care in hospital corridors or non-bed spaces, averaging more than 2,200 daily in A&E alone. This “corridor care” — defined as waiting over 45 minutes in inappropriate areas — also affects 20,600 patients on general wards. In Greater Manchester, nearly 90 patients a day face this reality. Experts warn of compromised dignity, safety, and staff morale, pointing to systemic strain. The government is responding with urgent care expansions and specialist teams deployed to struggling hospitals, aiming to fix the issue by 2029.
