Putting an end to corridor care in Wales
Corridor care is putting patients at risk in every corner of Wales.
In January 2025, we've sent open letters to the Welsh Government and every health board, along with eight steps to tackle it.
We also wrote to Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, NHS trusts, Llais (the citizen voice body in health and social care), and Wales's Commissioners for children, older people, and future generations.
You can read the briefing on corridor care in Wales in Welsh or English - and find all the open letters on this page.

Corridor "care" is not safe – and it's not care.
Right now, hospital patients in Wales are waiting on trolleys or chairs for hours on end, in pain and suffering, in corridors, ambulances, and rooms where safe care isn't possible.
This is not normal. No part of our society should consider it acceptable. The Welsh Government must act.
Ask your politicians to take action today.
