A&E corridor care

That this House condemns the normalisation of corridor care in NHS hospitals; expresses alarm at recent reports of patients receiving end of life care in corridors; believes patients deserve better and should expect to receive care in privacy and with dignity; regrets that 2025 saw the worst level of 12 hour trolley-waits in A&E ever recorded; further notes that the Government are set to miss their own target of seeing 78% of patients within 4 hours by the end of March 2026; recognises this is affecting public confidence, with 67% of people now worried about long A&E waits; calls on the Government to end the national scandal of corridor care and save A&E departments from collapse; urges the Government to implement Liberal Democrat calls to end corridor care and the A&E crisis within a year by guaranteeing everyone can see a GP within seven days, or 24 hours if urgent, and by fixing the crisis in social care so that people can leave hospital when they are fit to do so; and further calls for a legal duty on the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to end 12-hour A&E waits by the end of the year.
