Around 60 nurses resigned from a well-known hospital's A&E in the space of a year because of stress and low pay, it is claimed.
Labour MP for Putney, Fleur Anderson, told the Commons that St George's Hospital in South London was forced to declare a critical incident in early January due to the department's "chaotic" situation.
She described how patients were being treated in corridors at the hospital, which is the location for the Channel 4 show 24 Hours In A&E, while a winter ward remained open all year round.
