Footage reveals ‘war zone’ corridor care at NHS hospital

 

Coco Mocha Films obtained distressing footage of streams of patients being left on beds in corridors at one of Britain’s busiest NHS hospitals, as it struggled to get to grips with demands on its services.

One elderly patient at Queen’s Hospital in Essex was forced to lie in a bed with pneumonia for almost three days in full public view, without the privacy of receiving treatment in a ward. Another received medical tests in a toilet.

The shocking footage formed the central part of a hard-hitting report which led ITV News bulletins throughout the day and shone a light on the crisis in the NHS, forcing an apology from Health Secretary Wes Streeting.

It has since been followed up by a succession of follow-up reports from ITV News which have pulled into sharp focus the need for investment and wholesale reform of our most cherished public service.
