"Bed in middle of bay"

I work for the NHS so fully understand the pressures we are facing. However my Dad was recently in AMU with no official bed space. He was in the middle of the bay in what is being referred to as a Boarders bed. He was admitted on a Wednesday and was in this bed space for 2 days. He is not going anywhere as is awaiting an Angiogram. 

Besides the issue he had no privacy or dignity, he was also blocking a fire door. How is this safe?

The staff are amazing and clearly working under massive pressure. None of them seem to think it is a good idea but I have spoken to them and they are unable to move him when a normal bed becomes available ( which many have) as he is the most stable patient in the bay. I appreciate this but what happens if he does have a heart attack? There are no oxygen or suction points, and no call bell.

He wanted to change his pyjama bottoms having been in hospital for 3 days and had to stand in the middle of the bay in his underpants. I attempted to close the patient nearest hims curtains to give him some kind of dignity but the patient was not very happy. I explained my Dad has no curtains of his own. My Dad is fully competent and has full capacity -but is breathless and experiencing chest pain whenever he moves so needs some of his own space and privacy. 

He witnessed another patient having a cardiac arrest on his first night and was able to tell me every detail - how is patient confidentiality being maintained when one bed is within centimetres of another.

Privacy, dignity, confidentiality are these not our code of conduct. Please tell me how this has been allowed to happen. 

I re-iterate all the staff have been wonderful and so kind to Dad but they shouldn't be working in these conditions either. I am so disappointed and upset for my dad.
