An A&E patient was reportedly forced to wait for four days on a gurney before receiving a bed last week.
Jon Westbrook, the hospital’s chief medical officer, wrote in a leaked email to staff: ‘We are seeing case numbers that we have not seen previously in our clinical careers.’ A seriously ill three-year-old girl was pictured curled up asleep on a plastic chair at the children’s A&E department of John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford after waiting hours to be treated.Tom Hook, the young girl’s dad, shared the image on social media and wrote: ‘Exhausted, dehydrated and fighting multiple illnesses, this is the best the NHS could do, five hours after arriving at A&E and 22 hours after we phoned for help.
Record numbers of patients are now being nursed in corridors as emergency departments have become ‘grossly overcrowded’.
