Ex-NHS nurse Pat McDonald, 75, suffered a broken wrist and other injuries when she slipped and fell outside her sheltered accommodation in Birkenhead, Merseyside. Following the incident, Pat's daughter Katie, a senior NHS nurse, has hit out at Boris Johnson's government with the NHS in crisis and A&E wait times now the worst since records began. "And this is the result, elderly people in agony, cold, wet, unable to move and left for hours." Katie said working conditions within the NHS have dramatically worsened in the last five years and staff need support from the government. It recently emerged that A&E waiting times are at their worst on record.
