Patient safety 'not compromised' by high demandpublished at 11:42 British Summer Time 19 October 2017
More now on our story of the two Norfolk hospitals which had to bring in extra beds because of high demand.
A BBC investigation has shown that the Queen Elizabeth in King's Lynn and the James Paget University Hospital (JPUH) in Gorleston had 100% of their beds occupied in the past three months.
Graham Wilde, chief executive of the JPUH, says patient safety hasn't been compromised.
Quote MessageI think we have a dedicated team of doctors, nurses and other support staff who work hard to ensure that patient safety is our paramount concern. I can reassure people that, on the whole, we'd rather breach targets than jeopardise patient safety."
