Patients who had to spend a night on trolleys at a Glasgow hospital A&E have received letters of apology, BBC Scotland has learned.
Several people at the Victoria Infirmary were left on trolleys on Monday night.
Health board managers said there had been an "unprecedented surge in demand" at several hospitals in the city.
A total of 17 planned operations were cancelled and 50 patients were found care home placements to free up beds.
The BBC has been told the Victoria Infirmary even ran out of blankets and pillows, after admissions increased by 24%.
