The use of 'escalation areas' in A&E dept.s has become normalised & while the president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine sees this as 'big trouble' until there's a major disaster linked to corridor care, our political class & the news media are focussed elsewhere

The problem as always is the movement of patients through hospital systems, which is slowed down by problems of discharge to social care... & that is not going to be fixed anytime soon.
