Dear Editor
The problem of newly admitted hospital patients being treated in corridors because the wards are full of recovered patients with nowhere suitable to go has such an obvious solution that I can only think it must be deliberate policy. All you need to do is put the fit-to-go patients on the corridor trolleys, releasing the ward beds for those who need them. The ready-to-be-discharged patients would need only sustenance and bathroom facilities, while all the medical care would be concentrated in the wards.
I would bet good money that this change in regime would result in a miraculous reduction in those who had nowhere suitable to go.
