Hospitals will need to make "life and death decisions" very soon according to doctor and MP Rosena Allin-Khan amid the coronavirus crisis.
Dr Allin-Khan has warned that frontline medical staff are frightened of the rising number of cases and deaths, which will increasingly lead them to make difficult decisions.
She told BBC Radio 4: "Heart-wrenching and unenviable choices need to be made in the situation that we don't have any ventilators (left). "In a matter of days or a couple of weeks we will be having to make life-and-death decisions, impossible decisions, over who gets the last ventilator." She also discussed how hospitals are having to care for younger patients in their 30s and 40s who are critically ill.
