Nottingham hospital chiefs have apologised after a 95-year-old Veteran was forced to wait 26 hours in a Queen’s Medical Centre corridor for a hospital bed.
Stanley Solomons was admitted to hospital at 11am on Sunday, October 16, after staff at his nursing home became worried about his health. He was taken in an ambulance with blue lights to the QMC and was eventually given a bed on Monday (October 17) afternoon.
His daughter, Labour councillor Rachael Ellis at Gedling Borough Council, was by his side while in hospital and said he was “frail”. She praised hard-working staff, saying she saw them “literally running” around A&E.
