The number of patients admitted to an east London hospital A&E unit is to be capped at busy times to improve care.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said the A&E department at Queen's Hospital, Romford, was providing patients with "unacceptably poor care".

It comes after inspectors found some A&E patients had to wait up to 11 hours before being transferred to a ward.

Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust said it was working to improve emergency care.
