Coronavirus patients are being turned away from the new NHS Nightingale hospital, despite 4,000 empty beds because of a lack of nurses, it has been claimed.
The new hospital at ExCel Centre has turned away patients from packed London hospitals, reports Mail Online. NHS documents reveal only 40 patients have been treated so far, after the hospital had to turn away 50 "life or death" patients since it opened its doors on April 7.
The documents, seen by The Guardian reveal the facility had to turn away 30 of the patients as there were too few nurses to accommodate them.
The Guardian revealed one member of staff said: “There are plenty of people working here, including plenty of doctors. But there aren’t enough critical care nurses.
