My mother-in-law, Molly, is 110.
Last year, she was taken ill and the ambulance took her to a Liverpool hospital in the early afternoon, but, after some tests, no bed could be found for her. She spent the rest of the day and all of the night on a trolley in a corridor. Every hour throughout the night she was moved along, deprived of sleep and the basic provisions, including food and drink, which she would have had on a ward. What are the Government now doing to tackle the problem of delayed transfer of care, which results in fewer beds being available? Does the Minister accept that this can be done only by properly resourcing adult social care?
