NUNEATON hospital bosses have apologised for the places where some patients have been treated.

- By CLAIRE HARRISON News Reporter

It comes as the George Eliot Hospital continues to experience ‘high, sustained demand’.

It has meant that some patients have been treated in what are officially known as Temporary Escalation Spaces (TES).
