HEALTH unions united today to end treating patients in corridors, chairs, waiting areas and other inappropriate places in Welsh hospitals.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and the British Medical Association (BMA) in Wales have joined forces to address the alarming state of corridor care in Welsh hospitals and healthcare services. 

The two unions launched a public petition urging the Welsh government to take immediate action to end the practice on the day a major report on the Welsh NHS  was published with 29 recommendations to the government.
