Corridor care coalition letter to Sir James Mackey on Data

An RCN-led coalition of health care and patient organisations has today written to James Mackey, NHS England Chief Executive, to urge NHSE to publish data on corridor care. The RCN has called for mandatory reporting on corridor care - which NHSE has committed to publishing – but the data has still not been released. This data is critical to building an honest picture of how corridor care is affecting patients and staff across the system, as well as the scale of the problem. We are urging NHSE to release this data without further delay.
