The son of a 95-year-old man who spent nearly 30 hours on a trolley in a hospital corridor described the scenes he witnessed as 'like something from a war zone or a disaster movie.'
Harry Lyness was taken by ambulance to the new Royal Liverpool Hospital after he had a fall in the night at his care home in south Liverpool. Once he arrived at the hospital he was met by scenes of chaos and forced to join a long queue of patients waiting on trolleys on a corridor.
Harry's son John, 61 explained: "We got to the hospital at around 10 in the morning. The first thing you see when you walk into this brand new hospital is a massive, long corridor absolutely full of patients on trolleys. It was like something out of a disaster movie where there has been a major incident or an attack.
