Patients deserve dignity - not a trolley in a hallway. Years of neglect has left A&Es stretched. To drive up standards, the Government must end corridor care for good.

This report from RCEM, one of our coalition partners to end corridor care, should send shockwaves through govt.
It shows that standards have fallen so far that many no longer expect to be treated in clinically appropriate spaces.
We need data & transparency on how widespread corridor care is now.
