Earlier this week, Nadia Wainwright from Henllan described the moment she saw an elderly woman pass away in the A&E corridor at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd without anyone holding her hand. ‌The Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board’s executive director of nursing and midwifery, Angela Wood, said everyone fully understood the “concern and anxiety” such incidents caused. ‌Jonathan Osborne FRCS, a former ear, nose, and throat surgeon at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, has criticised his former employer and has been campaigning to increase the number of beds at community hospitals. ‌The retired surgeon said the tragic death in A&E was “typical” of the situation in North Wales. Corridor care is not something we want for our patients, and we fully understand the concern and anxiety it can cause when people see this happening.
