Doctors working 35-hour shifts, having to nap in a room with broken windows during winter, and not having enough food for night shifts are among problems raised by a taskforce set up to examine conditions.

The taskforce evaluated concerns raised by non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs), formerly known as junior doctors, and have published a report with over 80 recommendations.
