The SNP leader has apologised for patients being treated in corridors (Image: Getty ) The leader of the SNP has offered an embarrassing "unreserved apology" to patients in Scottish hospitals after a report found more than half are being treated in corridors. The comments of the First Minister come after the Glasgow Times reported that the family of an 80-year-old stroke patient claimed he was "left in a storage room". Pictures shared by the family with the publication showed drinks cans and bottles on the shelves around their relative.
However, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have denied it was a storage room, saying it was a "resus room which is routinely used to care for patients". Mr Swinney's apology follows a report from the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) which found that overcrowding in Scotland's emergency departments has led to more than half treating patients in hospital corridors. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
