Available for over a year

Queen's Hospital in Romford and King George Hospital in Ilford, had their busiest ever December, with close to 1,000 patients needing treatment every day.

Hallways have been adapted with new plugs, sinks and emergency alarms to help cope with demand. BBC London's Karl Mercer has been finding out what toll this kind of care takes on staff and patients.
