Nurses "go home and cry" as patients are left queuing in hospital corridors in a crisis hit NHS.
Debbie, 47, was one of over hundred hospital workers who joined the picket line outside Aintree University Hospital on Wednesday in protest over pay and patient safety. Debbie broke down in tears as she told the ECHO of just how much pressure staff members like herself are under working in an overstretched National Health Service.
Her words were brought home by the huge turnout for the industrial action on Wednesday, with a separate picket line made up of striking paramedics also set up outside the hospital's ambulance station just a short walk away.
