"Appalling"

After a 3 hour wait in the ambulance, my husband was transferred to the corridor inside the emergency department. One “corridor nurse” was looking after 6 or 7 people who had been brought in with possible life threatening illnesses. Nobody had a call button or any privacy or dignity whatsoever. Each time anybody needed to be examined, they were moved into a side room which looked more like a storage cupboard. This is the reality of emergency care right now and appears to be accepted as the new norm.
