And it's not just our local hospital that's having problems. Have a read at this:

Patient nips to loo and loses bed

A hospital patient went to the loo and returned to find staff had given her bed to another woman.

Pat Roberts, 68, was away from her bed for less than 20 minutes, reports the Sun.

Staff at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital told her she would have to wait for another bed.

Husband Ron said: "I was with my wife and helped her to the bathroom. When we returned it was not a case of them making up the bed, it was already full.

"We were only away from the bed for the time it took me to push her through the ward to the toilet and back again."

A spokeswoman for the hospital said they would investigate the incident
