Doctors, nurses, and health care staff are forced to treat and care for patients in corridors, car parks, and other places where safe, dignified care isn't possible and where they lack access to life-saving equipment. \r\n\r\nThe Royal College of Nursing Wales and the BMA Cymru Wales are jointly raising the alarm on patient safety for Welsh Government to eradicate corridor care.","additional_details":"The RCN and the BMA call on the Welsh Government to immediately: \r\n\r\n1.\tBegin recording and reporting on corridor care in Wales, starting by making it a ‘never event’ for patients to receive care in chairs for more than 24 hours.\r\n\r\n2.\tPause reductions in NHS Wales hospital beds. Nationally review capacity and deliver a clear, costed workforce plan to ensure hospitals and wider care settings can meet future demand.\r\n\r\n3.\tInvest in community-based care by:\r\n\t•\tincreasing the number of District Nurses (and nurses with a community nursing master’s degree) back to, and above, 2010 levels to meet demand.\r\n\t•\trestoring the proportion of NHS Wales funding in general practice to historic levels, with aspirations to increase, so that we train, recruit and retain enough GPs to move toward the OECD average number of GPs per 1000 people.\r\n\r\n4.\tPrioritise prevention and early intervention. Sustainable emergency care needs a strong focus on population health and early diagnosis to reduce avoidable crises.","state":"completed","signature_count":10536,"threshold_for_referral":250,"threshold_for_debate":10000,"created_at":"2025-04-22T14:44:24.389Z","updated_at":"2026-01-20T17:12:19.999Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2025-04-29T08:51:12.222Z","closed_at":"2025-10-29T23:59:59.999Z","completed_at":"2026-01-20T17:12:19.995Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-04-22T14:56:50.000Z","referral_threshold_reached_at":"2025-04-29T18:36:20.000Z","referred_at":"2025-10-31T00:00:00.000Z","debate_threshold_reached_at":"2025-10-17T08:51:20.000Z","scheduled_debate_date":"2025-12-10","debate_outcome_at":"2026-01-09T16:08:17.282Z","archived_at":null,"submitted_on_paper":false,"submitted_on":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":null,"debate":{"debated_on":"2025-12-10","transcript_url":"https://record.senedd.wales/Plenary/15471#A103319","video_url":"https://www.senedd.tv/Meeting/Archive/01741c53-1a74-4580-bd95-3fff258ba722?autostart=True","debate_pack_url":"https://business.senedd.wales/mgIssueHistoryHome.aspx?IId=46699&Opt=0","overview":"The
