A whistleblower at Manchester Royal Infirmary has exposed serious safety failures, including understaffing and inadequate equipment, compromising patient care.
The anonymous nurse, speaking to BBC News on September 12, 2025, detailed incidents of delayed treatments and ignored alarms due to stretched resources.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) launched an investigation, rating the hospital ‘requires improvement.’ NHS England acknowledged the concerns, promising immediate action.
The whistleblower’s claims echo broader NHS challenges, with staff shortages up 10% since 2023.
Patients like John Harris, 62, reported long waits for critical care.
The case has reignited calls for government investment in healthcare infrastructure.
