Elderly pneumonia patient left freezing for days on ward at new Royal Liverpool Hospital

An elderly woman suffering with pneumonia was left freezing on a ward for days at the new Royal Liverpool Hospital.

The 82-year-old woman was admitted to the new hospital last week after falling ill. Initially she was forced to wait on a trolley in a corridor area of the hospital for two days before she could be admitted to a ward.

Her daughter, who asked for her vulnerable mother not to be identified, said that once transferred to a respiratory ward within the new hospital, her mother said she had been '"freezing" for several days.
