Corridor care shocking 4 times as common in Labour Wales than in SNP Scotland to cast serious doubt on whether Scottish Labour’s Jackie Baillie could cope as Health Secretary

From ITV News at 6.30pm tonight based on their own survey:

A special report on the corridor care crisis in Wales where it appears to be more common than in anywhere else in the UK. 89 000 treated in corridors in one health trust.

and on their website:

It comes as new figures reveal almost 89,000 patients were treated in corridors or other non-clinical environments between 2022 and the end of October 2025 in hospitals run by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

In February this year, an undercover investigation by the S4C current affairs programme Y Byd ar Bedwar filmed dozens of patients receiving care on corridors in the emergency departments at two north Wales hospitals.

Journalists also spoke with 40 people who said they had witnessed or experienced corridor care in hospitals run by the health board. A nurse at Ysbyty Gwynedd, who spoke anonymously, claimed treating patients in corridors has become “normal”. https://www.itv.com/news/wales/2026-03-16/thought-i-was-going-to-die-investigation-reveals-reality-of-corridor-careRegular

  1. On 5 March Jackie Baillie posted this comments on Facebook based upon a statement that she made in the Scottish parliament on the Scottish NHS.

    The SNP refuse to acknowledge the pressure A&E is facing, leading to record waiting times and a rise in corridor care”.

    So if on the 5 March 2026 she , Baillie, states there was “a rise in corridor care” within Scotland , does that then mean that the current 7% percentage figure in Scotland , as quoted by ITV in their report which was dated after 5 March, was then even lower than 7% ?
