Responding to the embargoed RCN report into overcrowding in Scotland's NHS, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

"This is a harrowing account of the pressures that nurses are facing in their workplaces.

"Caring for patients in corridors, cupboards and car parks has become disturbingly common.

"The Health Secretary should make a statement to Parliament making clear that this is unacceptable and he will be making the necessary resources available to get healthy patients home and sick ones the standard of treatment they deserve."
