Staff working at New Cross hospital say they see hundreds of patients every day.
Staff at a Wolverhampton hospital described the unrelenting pressures of working in A&E as waiting times hit their worst UK levels on record."You're talking two hundreds in a day... that's not counting the ambulances that are outside," she said.
Nationally, the government's target of 95% of patients being seen inside four hours has not been met since 2015, while November's England average stood at 68.9%.Max Reynolds, 91, spent six hours waiting for an ambulance, then 22 hours waiting for a bed before spending the night in the hospital's new £3m ambulance receiving centre.
Despite her father's experience, Mr Reynolds' daughter Jane Sellar said she remained a staunch believer in the NHS. "As far as anybody knew I'd had a heart attack, so... if I'd have been left to lie there that long, I'd be dead," he said.
