Hospitals already under pressure31 Aug 2021 09:35
My friend s 85 year old mum living in Peterborough had a fall yesterday. She had been lying on the floor all night. Her cries for help were heard by neighbours and ambulance arrived at midday. My friend travelled from London. Mum was still waiting on an ambulance outside the hospital at 23:00 last night. She is believed to have a broken wrist and,quite possibly,broken hip. My friend was advised to return home and phone back today as couldn't see Mum being seen to for a few more hours. NHS staff under enormous pressure yet again!
