Rae Ackroyd has been at Scarborough General Hospital since early on Sunday evening.
Rae Ackroyd's family said she attended A&E early on Sunday evening and was sat in a chair for the first 15 hours of her wait
"She's being wonderfully looked after by the staff in A&E, who are doing the best they can in an extraordinary situation, but there's something about the system - and at other hospitals - that is broken," said Mr Ackroyd, from Wrockwardine in Shropshire. "The whole system is struggling, they're inundated with people in A&E and there's a complete blockage of being able to get people out of A&E to wards with a bed," Mr Ackroyd said.
