- Last month in Scotland more than 125,000 people were admitted to A&E with more than 40% not seen within four hours.
Lung cancer patient, Noreen Craig, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow after becoming ill with a chest infection, but she died before she even made it on to a ward.
Her son Stuart Craig said that 'animals would have been treated better' than his mother was.
Sky's Connor Gillies reports from Scotland.

We support the strikes!
I don't. I would accept my pay as part of the job I've chosen. Fair pay or not, I'd find it unethical to hold lives to ransom to increase my wage packet. People will die on those strike says who would not had the strikes not been on. I wouldn't want those lives on my conscience.
We support the strikes indeed!
@@RockDove5212 great, I
love the use of the hypotheticals “I wouldn’t if I was in that situation” is very easy to say, NOT in the situation. It’s not too late to retrain bud, maybe come and join the workforce your criticising; walk a mile in their shoes.
I can't wait to leave this world. I hate what it's become.
It's not just Scotland ..the situation here in Wales is abysmal...our largest H/A cant account for the sum of 122 million that has 'gone missing' ...!!!and to date ...regarding this there has been no response from our Saviour and Saint Mark of Wales...loosely termed 1st Minister..and our again loosely termed Health Minister 'the Baroness Morgan' who until recently had apparently gone AWOL because we were wonderi g if we had a Health Minister...however,she popped up this week to say that the people of Wales should protect our NHS (the one that isnt here for us anymore!!) and that we should take more exercise,eat sensibly,dont smoke,be careful with the demon alcohol etc etc and be more responsible for our health ..again like her boss Drakeford..keeping schtum about the missing 122 million...meanwhile the nurses /ambulance personnel will continue with their strike action again next week. ..welcome to la la land.😟😟😟
Nightingale hospitals, politicians should resign, be accountable for unnecessary deaths, bring in staff from Army, or Europe, govt asleep at the wheel not planning to prevent staff leaving
The NHS was broke before the "pandemic" hospitals cut back or stopped practically everything other than "covid" patients. Then they made it worse because they tested all patients every few hours or every day who knows so in a hospital who have hundreds of patients probably half or more tested positive...even though they never had it. Staff were also faced with fear from MSM and because they work in a environment where all we heard was people were dieing from this virus and nothing else. They too were hiding out the way...not wanting to get involved...incase they brought it home...so they got tested all the time... again testing positive using a test that cannot be used for diagnosis!!!
And even still today because the hospitals are backlog and over run now with patients suffering from all kinds of illnesses and....death staff are burnout..and hiding away at times when they get a sniffle....they are off with convid!!!
There isn't enough staff to really help anyone, it's been like that for years and got worse during covid pandemic.
There is no incentive for people to study nursing. University fees are expensive and working as a nurse pays little.
The reason there is even less staff now is because when they have a cold...they test positive and are call in sick. Some don't even have to have a cold if they aren't feeling up to going in they probably just say I've tested positive and I'm not feeling well....new normal!!! And agency staff are earning more than nhs employed staff so they can pick and choose when and where they want to work!!!!
@@TheSuperPsychoKiller no it doesn't pay little! The fact is no one wants to do hands on care when they become a staff nurse or a higher position!! It's left to clinical support workers! Which if is lucky if there is two or three in a ward full of patients. Short as well because those that don't doing hands on care all time leave...but miss the money and go work for agency!!! Earning way way more a hour and pick and choose when they want to work!!! Fact!!!
The fact is there are more nurses working for agency companies now. The reason more and more are leaving nhs employment contract and working for a agency is the fact...and it is a fact...the agency pays way way more a hour some up to £60 a hour depending on qualification that works out at £700 roughly before tax for a 12 hour shift And they can pick and choose when to work at that rate of one or two shifts a week!!! The system is broken!!!
What is the point of an apology , it is the governments fault that hospitals are so overwhelmed and overstretched . It is so very sad
Not completely the governm2 ts fault ...equally the plonkers running the Health Boards are to blame ...many of these so called managers etc...have never had any experience of a Health setting..and might as well be managing Sainsburys.
Take them to court
NHS IS A DISASTER NOW!
The doctor is "working from home"... 🤔
She’s working for 111 - it’s a telephone service.
Deep condolences and the words We are sorry can't fix broken hearts
Thing is , we pay national insurance all our working lives,so technically we should at least expect care when we need it.
The average Briton doesn’t pay anywhere near enough to cover the true cost of healthcare. Thats why the NHS is in crisis.
@@thesaltbaron5733 Exactly - pay peanuts, get a peanut service.
@@justadude8369 pay peanuts get monkeys- and then have the temerity to complain about it
@@justadude8369 @The Salt Baron no the government takes the money and put it in their pockets.... Look how much the Torie Government has defined the NHS closed so many services closed so many hospitals. Let's not be confused.
So nothing to do with the mass immigration of people who have never paid a penny.
Shame on this Government
Yep shame on leftwing SNP 😋
@@eriihf no on Tories. SNP are not that horrible like Tories.
@@eriihf shame on conservative racist sexist and homophobic colonialists 🦄🤭
So this is the NHS we are trying to sell to the yanks… unreal
Why would they buy such a pos ?
I used to be a nurse I use to work on acute assessments we had beds its was a 52 bed and some weekends we only have 2 inthe unit I had to to emergency last week it said 11 hrs but was only 2 hrs I left in 2008 I cant believe the NHS is on its knees x
Just Scotland? Interesting since NHS Scotland is the best performing in the UK. What does this say about NHS England?
Have a chat with the SNP. They run the NHS north of the border!
The SNP run it on a budget the torries set every year thats 1 of many reasons we want independence.
@@whoateawethepies9346 weres the missing Money ?
That is very sad, may she rest in peace.
God be their comfort of the family and see them through this sad event.
SNP OUT NOW !!!
Mp's and PM should atleast do a 1 week shift on every hospital so they see and feel what nhs staff are going through instead of making decisions without experiencing the actual pressure
The NHS has had to fight a pandemic, a backlog of cases and now a flu and respiratory breakout along with the consequences of Brexit freedom of movement closure.
People need to be realistic of what can be done. If there is no staff just throwing money at it won't work..
Lack of investment and forward thinking has contributed to where we are.
Anyone would think it had been planned!!
@@boota1979 it certainly was !

Breed home grown or die on your own.
I wonder what Andrew Bridgen MP would have say about this, but the rest of the Organised Crime Syndicate Conservative Party has shut him up.
That’s so sad
I’ve seen first hand Darlington hospital place was manic rly rly sad
I suffered from my prostate for more than 2yeard eventually they told me i need un operation but they put me on waiting list they said could take couple of years to get it dome I wanted 3 months with no answer life got unbreakable I called private hospital they give appointments for next day and the operation done on the forth day the doctor who done the operation the same doctor from the NHS
Lucky enough I had the money that time
Who knows what happens next time 2 scary
Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. We are all responsible for what is going on and we have to change for the better. No Torry, No Liberal... No Democrats. Only me, him, her, us, and them. Help each other.
Numerous A&E Departments were closed and they wonder why the NHS is struggling.
FREE TOP G
England votes Tory, Scotland gets Tory budgets.
Not anymore …I hope
Tories didn’t decide to close down wards through out Scottish hospitals and strip city hospitals of essential care givers or equipment. That was SNP.
Stop blaming the English for SNP incompetence.
When we are independent who are the SNP going to blame……. Russia 🤦🏻♂️
@@bobdidit55 whens the scottish ppl going to wake up to the incompetence of SNP they run this country yet the robots continue to vote them in
Don't blame the tories for the snp failures.
@@arealscotsman why not, since their policy controls all Scotland’s finances?

I went to my Dr the first thing I was asked if I had private health insurance if I did why should I pay for the NHS I think this is what the government's want us to do go private
Wait a gosh darn minute!?!!?!? I thought healthcare was a right?
it is unless youre a tory
@@russell6075
Then again, NHS in Scotland is totally devolved to the Scottish Parliament…….. 🤣
@@anthonyferris8912 doesn’t matter the tories in england control what happens in the uk. Thats the whole point of Scottish independence
Not when the Tories hood the purse strings.
@@anthonyferris8912 Then again no. The Tories hold the purse strings.
"The Harm Principle holds that the Actions of Individuals should only be limited to prevent harm to other Individuals. John Stuart Mill articulated this Principle in 'On Liberty', where he argued that "The only purpose for which Power can be Rightfully Exercised over any Member of a Civilized Community, against his Will, is to prevent harm to others."
How to investigate excess deaths (clip)
Just a suggestion. But no one appears to give a damn.

RN from india, watching this news while taking care of my patient at 3.30 am here, soon i am planning to apply there 💔.
And they want to be independent!!!!! FFS!!!
I know! The SNP still get a lot of support in Scotland so I guess the NHS doesn’t impact on voting behaviour if the Scottish Government cannot get things organised better. And Indyref2 is supposed to be happening in October this year despite the chaos!!!
We all get , and deserve, what we vote for..... We want MORE .... More of the same...
No they don't.....they want Brussels to own them......Real independent 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
UK is in crisis... U don't see England in NHS crisis... So funny how sky is so sneaky
General election
Cost of Conservatives Crisis
NHS is overwhelmed because everybody has been breeding too much but nobody ever mentions this
Nope , all the indigenous European people's have a demographic collapse , and are below replacement levels.... There must be another reason. , wonder what..
I think a lack of healthy lifestyle, particularly diet is a major contributor.
The top 1% own 99% of the wealth but nobody talks about it.
@@DisturbedAidan2 Yeah, it's nothing to do with tory mismanagement...
All European countries have a huge declining birth rate and a massive immigration increase
Take a turn for the worse, NOT take a turn for the worst.
Dying in pain is not justifiable.
Old Vinceys heart goes out to his beloved haggis kissing scotch people
Scotland thanks the mincing public schoolboy imperialist.
This is a taste of what the NHS will be in an independent Scotland
The reason ambulance response times are so bad is because certain cultures/ethnicities/social classes/new arrivals within our society have not been educated on how to correctly use the service. Same with A&E. A lot of people think that ambulances are a free taxi service to the hospital. Perhaps a public education campaign would be money well spent in the long run.
Oh do shut up. It's down to tory mismanagement for the last 12 years.
That's a long way of saying "non- british"
King created this.
How did the king create this🤔🤔
