Care at an NHS hospital in Greater Manchester is so chaotic that patients are being left in pain, having to wait up to four days to see a consultant and languish in a corridor for hours because the A&E unit is full, two previously unpublished reviews commissioned by the hospital reveal.

So serious are the problems at Tameside general hospital in Manchester that local GPs now want the long-serving chief executive, Christine Green, and the medical director, Tariq Mahmood, to quit ? while junior doctors working at the hospital have also privately raised concerns about staffing levels.
