Newly published data shows that almost 3,000 patients a day in England receive “corridor care,” meaning treatment in clinically inappropriate, make-shift areas within hospitals. The reporting draws on official figures released for the first time, which separate corridor treatment in accident and emergency (A&E) from other unsuitable settings. The figures record 2,241 daily cases of patients receiving A&E corridor care. In addition, 699 patients are treated in other inappropriate hospital locations, bringing the combined total to just under 3,000 patients per day. Sources describe corridor care as care delivered when there are not enough beds available in A&E and patients are moved or treated in areas that are not intended for clinical use. The coverage emphasizes the scale of the problem and frames the issue in terms of patient experience and clinical appropriateness, describing corridor care as unsafe and undignified. The reports do not attribute the figures to a single cause, but they link the practice to ongoing pressures that limit timely access to appropriate clinical spaces.
