John Carty: Nobody is happy with a situation in which people, whether old, young or middle aged, have to spend a few hours on hospital trolleys, let alone the 24 to 48 hours reported by hospitals. Constituents have contacted me regarding elderly parents who had to occupy trolleys for 24 hours. That is not acceptable.
