Patients tell of long waits at Coventry's University Hospital with queues spilling out of the door.

Patients' concerns about long waits in A&E at a hospital are being listened to, a health watchdog says.

In an email sent to Radio CWR on Tuesday Eliza said she was with her partner at the A&E unit in Walsgrave. There were three patients, including two elderly ladies, waiting for a bed. A woman who wanted to remain anonymous said she went to the hospital with her unwell father at about 11:00 BST on Tuesday and discovered some people had been there since Sunday. There was also a queue of people waiting to be assessed going out of the door.

Mr Clarke said he resorted to drastic action and brought out a blow up mattress he had left in his car for Ms Davies to lie on but was "abruptly" told to remove it by staff.
