Steven Bradwick, 58, was left on a trolley for hours before being wheeled into a small bay on a corridor. He then had to use an NHS clinical waste bin as a makeshift table to eat his evening meal off at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales. A heart attack patient was forced to eat off a clinical waste bin because no beds were available Steven Bradwick, 58, who is also a Labour councillor, said he was left on a trolley for hours before being wheeled into a small bay in the corridor Mr Bradwick, a Labour councillor in Rhondda Cynon Taf, said: 'I had no table to eat my food off. I had to eat my food off a clinical waste bin.' 'My sister brought me in some towels and I draped them over the bin to eat my food. 'I can’t fault the food at Prince Charles Hospital - it was delicious - I just shouldn’t be eating it from a bin!' Mr Bradwick said the hospital was struggling to cope with a lack of beds. He said: 'I can’t fault the staff who were there but the system is broken. He was forced to eat off a bin at the Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, south Wales 'I complained to a doctor who was very patronising and asked me if I wanted special treatment because of my position. 'There were eight of us on trolleys in a bay that wasn’t supposed to hold more than four. 'My head was against a washing basin on one side and a clinical waste bin on the other.' He said: 'I couldn’t care less about me. What I care about is the little old lady who lives down the road who has got no-one to fight for her.' Mr Bradwick, of Aberdare, is now recovering at home after an angioplasty operation. A spokesman for Cwm Taf Morgannwg health board said: 'We can confirm that we are currently undertaking an investigation into the issues raised by councillor Bradwick.'
