The granddaughter of a woman in her 90s who is facing a protracted wait in A&E for an operation on her broken hip says the situation is a disgrace.
Speaking to Belfast Live anonymously, for fear it might affect her granny's treatment, the woman said her granny may have to wait over a week for the operation.
The 94-year-old has been at the Royal Victoria Hospital since Sunday night and was only moved to a bed on a ward on Tuesday night.
