Transcript

00:00 An increasing number of UK hospitals are now leaving patients in corridors.

00:07 This is known as corridor care due to lack of bed space in the wards.

00:12 Hospital bosses have said that basically by freeing up space in ambulances it's saving

00:18 lives.

00:19 But we'd love to know what your views are.

00:22 Oh no I don't like all this corridor care at all.

00:29 I think the NHS has been inundated with Covid and is still trying to patch the cracks and

00:38 anything that might help.

00:40 Hey, you've got to give it a go if it's going to help patients that are sick.

00:48 And there's more and more elderly people now that need help.

00:52 Well I'm going to go Friday anyway.

00:56 I'm going to go to hospital Friday.

00:58 Are you bothered about the speed or the quality?

01:00 No, no.

01:01 I've got to go through a tunnel of love.

01:04 You know what tunnel of love is?

01:06 A full body scan.

01:08 Because I had a big motorbike accident.

01:10 Right, I broke four of my ribs.

01:13 This elbow.

01:14 A knee crack.

01:15 And I had a blood clot on the inside.
