UK nurses report patients dying in hospital corridors due to severe overcrowding and understaffing.

Nurses in the UK have detailed harrowing conditions in NHS hospitals, where patients are left untreated in corridors due to severe overcrowding and understaffing. The Royal College of Nursing's report, based on 5,000 nurses' testimonies, reveals patients dying in these conditions and staff struggling to provide basic care. The report blames a decade of underfunding for the crisis, with hospitals facing their busiest year on record and 95% of beds occupied. Health officials acknowledge the problem but warn that conditions may not improve immediately.
