Verbatim
“These findings should leave nobody in any doubt about the scale of the pressure facing emergency departments across Wales.”
“This practice exposes vulnerable individuals to a lack of privacy, dignity, and essential care, while staff struggle to deliver safe treatment without adequate equipment or support.”
“Across Wales, patients are increasingly being cared for in corridors, waiting areas, and other unsuitable spaces due to chronic overcrowding and resource shortages within NHS hospitals.”
“This adds serious risk to patients and leads to poorer outcomes and adds a greater risk of death. The Welsh Government must act now because lives depend on it.”
“Without an allocated bed space we cannot stabilise patients with fluids, antibiotics or invasive lines. This adds serious risk to patients and leads to poorer outcomes and adds a greater risk of death.”
