Two corridors in Aintree Hospital are being used as "makeshift wards" as the departments become "overwhelmed".
A source described heartbreaking scenes inside Aintree University Hospital this week as departments became overwhelmed. They described how two corridors in the hospital were closed with privacy screens, and had security guarding them as they were being used as makeshift wards.
The ECHO understands patients, including the elderly and people who are seriously ill, had been lying in the corridors for up to 30 hours as other wards were at full capacity.
