A London hospital has slammed its doors to emergency cases after being pushed way beyond capacity. Ambulances are now being diverted elsewhere as staff declare an internal critical incident.
Ambulances Diverted, Patients Face Hours of Waiting

- Accident & Emergency patients stuck waiting over 5 hours for care
Corridors Overflowing, Desperate for Beds
An insider has lifted the lid on chaos inside the hospital. With 23 patients desperately needing beds, overcrowded corridors are lined with people stuck waiting.
“There just isn’t the space,” the whistleblower revealed.
Meanwhile, more than six other NHS trusts have also declared critical incidents recently, sparking fears vital care may be compromised across the region.
