Inspectors who visited Glasgow Royal Infirmary in April, and again in June, said it was operating at 96% capacity - well above the recommended 85% threshold

Patients are spending "prolonged" periods of time in chairs or on trolleys in the middle of a ward while they wait for beds as a result of a model adopted across Scotland's largest health board which is geared to reducing overcrowding in A&E. Inspectors who made an unannounced hospital-wide visit to Glasgow Royal Infirmary over three days in early June say they are "not assured" that patients' "privacy and dignity" is being safeguarded by what is known as the continuous flow model.
