BBC NewsA caller has told BBC Radio Nottingham his terminally ill stepmother has been left waiting on a trolley for nearly 14 hours overnight at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre.
The hospital, which today opened a new A&E unit, is on its highest level of alert after "extreme demand" over the weekend.
The caller, who asked to remain anonymous but is from Radcliffe-on-Trent, said: "She went in at 18:00 last night and has been on a trolley for heading to 14 hours now.
He continued: "She's in an open area, disturbed all night, prisoners coming in wearing handcuffs. She hasn't been able to sleep.
"She actually started off on a trolley in a corridor for about an hour-and-a-half before we got to the main waiting area.
"She had a brain tumour, she's dying. By the side of her there were three people on trolleys, behind her there were another three people on trolleys, and in front of her there were probably another eight people on trolleys."
Consultant Dr Frank Coffee apologised to the family but added: "Unfortunately the pressures on the hospital and the system are so great that the bed availability isn't there."
