A consultant has said that patients attending accident and emergency departments are sometimes ending up being treated in "corridors and cupboards," according to comments made on the BBC's Scotcast podcast.

The claim, reported by BBC Health, points to pressures facing emergency departments, with the consultant describing scenes in which space constraints have led to patients being placed in areas not designed for clinical care.

BBC Health did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding the specific hospital, health board, or the consultant's identity in the material reviewed.

The comments add to a wider public conversation about capacity pressures within accident and emergency services, though the source material does not specify the scale or duration of the issue described.

BBC News has not published additional context, such as an official response from health authorities, in the excerpt reviewed for this report.
