‘No dignity’ for patient in 28-hour Basildon hospital wait

Ms Wenman, from Southend-on-Sea, was given a bed after a nine-hour wait in A&E, before being discharged after spending 19 further hours in a corridor.

She said the facilities being afforded to patients were “dreadful”.

“You can’t charge your phone, you’ve got no privacy to go to the toilet,” Ms Wenman told BBC Essex.

“I had to change my night clothes and I had to do that in the middle of the corridor, under a sheet wriggling about – it was awful.

“There was no dignity, none at all. It was totally embarrassing.”
