The Royal College of Physicians has called for a “zero tolerance” approach to NHS corridor care, and accused health service leaders of not going far enough.

The RCP said there was a need to eliminate the practice, which sees patients treated in corridors, cupboards and temporary places owing to a lack of space and hospital beds.
