THE NHS in Worcestershire has been dealt a fresh blow after a patient told how she was forced to sit in severe pain in the A&E waiting room at Worcestershire Royal Hospital because there were no beds, or even a trolley, available.
The 31-year-old woman, who said she was told she would have to wait up to five hours for treatment when she went to A&E on Monday, contacted the Worcester News from the hospital to say the department was “in chaos”.
She exposed the problems at a time when the NHS in Worcestershire appears in crisis with five A&E doctors quitting at the same time last week while hospitals struggle under unprecedented levels of patient demand and a serious cash shortfall.
