Channel 4 News learns that a flagship PFI hospital in Wakefield is turning away patients arriving in ambulances because of a lack of capacity. North of England Correspondent Morland Sanders reports.

Call 999 within the Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust and where you end up may be something of a lottery.

Your nearest A&E could be in Pontefract but at night you can expect it to be shut – reportedly down to staff shortages.

The next nearest option within the Trust is the brand new Pinderfields Hospital, this is an impressive facility, huge car parks, cheery blocks of colour break up the exterior and a helipad awaits to ferry in the critically ill.

But Channel 4 News has learned that this hospital too has been turning away patients in the back of ambulances.
