Old people were left to die on a trolley in a hospital store room – with only a flimsy screen to protect their dignity, whistleblowers say.
Witnesses say the miserable fate was endured by at least three brought into A&E at troubled Gloucestershire Royal Hospital last month.
Insiders say the pensioners, classed as end-of-life patients because of their condition, were left in so-called cohort rooms when no relatives could be found while waiting for beds.
