The egregious patient safety failure that I will focus on today, though, is the corridor care crisis. The latest release of monthly corridor care statistics revealed the worst summer on record for A&E waits, with well over 300,000 waits of 12 hours or more in June and July. Nearly 100,000 people were treated in hospital corridors in July. After 2025 saw the worst level of 12-hour trolley waits in A&E ever recorded, this summer’s corridor care statistics show an ever-worsening trend.
