ALMOST one in five people in England has received or witnessed NHS care being delivered in non-medical areas such as corridors or waiting rooms in the last six months, according to a new survey.
The poll, conducted for the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), also found nine in 10 people believe tackling corridor care in the health service is a matter of urgency.
The college is calling for mandatory reporting and more investment for nursing staff.
