Woman thought dad was going to die after 24-hour wait in A&E corridor

A woman thought her dad was going to die after he spent more than 24 hours in an A&E corridor with pneumonia and a stomach bleed brought on by severe vomiting.

Alex Connolly's dad Brian, 57, was taken by ambulance to Royal Liverpool Hospital at around 7pm on Monday, February 27, after falling ill at the Salvation Army accommodation where he lives.

Alex, 27, said: "I waited with him all night on the corridor in A&E, which was full of patients waiting for triage. We waited just over 24 hours in the corridor. It was unimaginable. People with nans and grandads all sitting there, exposed. There was one nurse for the whole corridor. There were people being sick."
