'This isn't why I went into nursing'
Rows of patients lying in open spaces with some spending days on trolleys have become commonplace at a south Wales hospital, a nurse working there has told the BBC.
"It hasn't been unusual for us for quite some time now," Tristan Taylor, a senior A&E nurse at Swansea's Morriston Hospital said.
He described the lack of flow of patients through the hospital as like "having a sink with running water but you leave the plug in".
A BBC team recently spent a day at the hospital, witnessing the pressures staff are under, and the effect it is having on patients.
