A 90-year-old woman who had suffered a head injury was left waiting in a hospital corridor for nearly 30 hours in another brutal sign of the huge pressure on the National Health Service.
The woman, who had suffered a fall and banged her head at the sheltered accommodation home she lives in, had been taken to Whiston Hospital, with her daughter travelling with her.
The fall, which occurred on a Saturday morning in late April, had caused the elderly lady to bleed profusely from her head, partly because she takes blood thinners to deal with other health conditions.
