Proceeding contribution from Irene Campbell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 July 2026. It occurred during Backbench debate on NHS Corridor Care.
NHS Corridor Care
I would just like to highlight that the Scottish Government do not record or publish any statistics on the number of patients being treated in corridors. However, we know that it happens. The Crosshouse hospital, which serves my constituency, was recorded in January as having one of Scotland’s most under-pressure emergency departments. It exceeded capacity by 50% in December, revealing corridor care conditions in the hospital. Does my hon. Friend agree that it is important to record accurate data so that we can track improvement?
