Today our investigation into children receiving 'corridor care' was raised in the House of Commons. The Health Secretary told Parliament she would make the NHS start publishing official data on children treated in hospital corridors - after ITV News exposed the scandal.

Grateful to this family for sharing their heartbreaking experience, as we expose evidence of children being treated in inappropriate NHS hospital spaces - like corridors and waiting rooms.

The Health Secretary has just told MPs the NHS will begin publishing official data on children receiving corridor care - after our investigation exposed the problem. Last week, ITV News revealed thousands of children are being treated each year, in corridors and waiting rooms.

Liz and David Roberts are incredibly brave for sharing Finlay's heart-breaking story. No child should have to spend hours in a corridor waiting for urgent care. We must end the corridor care scandal within a year, focusing first and foremost on protecting children.
