Patient on trolley for 30 hours - BBC Health News 9th January 2008

A hospital has apologised to patients after a dramatic rise in admissions resulted in one man waiting 30 hours on a trolley before a bed could be found. The University Hospital of North Staffordshire said it had been getting 180 patients per day who needed beds, when normally it expected about 110. William McAuliffe, of Cheadle, said his 72-year-old father, William, was left in "shameful" conditions.
