Finlay Roberts spent nine hours in the busy, under-staffed emergency department. Most of that time was spent in a corridor. Finlay was sent home at around 1am, but hours later his mother found him in the bed next to her, not breathing. The coroner said that different hospital care that night would have given Finlay \u201ca chance\u201d of survival.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson from Whittington Hospital, said &quot;Whittington Health NHS Trust, like many NHS organisations across the country, continues to experience periods of exceptional demand across urgent and emergency care services. At times when demand exceeds available capacity, some patients may receive care in temporary clinical areas, including corridor spaces. We recognise that this is not the standard of care that patients, families or staff expect, and we understand the concerns that such circumstances raise. The Trust extends its sincere condolences to Finlay&#8217;s family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2lOHmNj<br \/>\n\u2022 Get breaking news and more stories at http:\/\/www.itv.com\/news<\/p>\n<p>Follow ITV News on TikTok https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itvnews?lang=en<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itvnews\/<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/itvnews\/<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on X: https:\/\/twitter.com\/itvnews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In July 2024, Liz and David Roberts took their son into the Whittington Hospital in north London, with a stomach ache.
