I know you are a busy hospital, but for you to decide to keep a patient in as you are concerned about them due to breathing problems, then leave them sitting in a chair all night as there were no beds on the wards. Even though you were aware that sitting aggravated the condition. This is disgusting.

There were 4 empty cubicles that were not being used. When asked if she could rest in one, knowing if a new patient needed it she would have to move back to a chair, it was refused. These cubicles were not used for 5 hours.

My daughter was not even offered a trolley to rest on, even though sitting worsened her symptoms.

One of my other daughters is a nurse and I usually defend the NHS to the hilt. Not your fault about bed shortages, but uncaring attitudes, shame on you.
