The family of a 95-year-old recovering pneumonia patient has slammed hospital staff, after he was left "in agony" while waiting for an ambulance for more than 10 hours in an icy discharge lounge
Arthur Wilson, who was waiting to be taken back to his care home from hospital, was found cold and hungry after he had been in an icy discharge lounge all day.
His daughters said they are "outraged" after seeing their frail father, who had been admitted two weeks earlier with pneumonia, sitting in his pyjamas covered with only a single blanket.
