These devastating findings mirror the testimony of nursing staff about the lack of dignity afforded to the elderly.
The health secretary cannot keep delaying the publication of data on #CorridorCare, and ministers must now bring forward a fully funded action plan for the eradication this crisis.

Even though older people going into A&E face a considerable risk of waiting over 12 hours for a hospital bed, our new data shows that over 100,000 older people had to wait 1-3 days for a bed.

But one year on, your testimony shows corridor care is only becoming more entrenched across the health service.
