Around 200 people were hospitalised last night after suffering carbon-monoxide poisoning at a London Christmas party, an NHS worker has claimed.
A hospital staff member has come forward about a 'major incident' which is believed to have occurred last night following an event at a Gokyuzu restaurant in Chingford, Waltham Forest.
Numerous people who attended the Christmas party were said to have fallen ill and initially believed they had food poisoning.
But it is claimed they were actually experiencing symptoms of carbon-monoxide poisoning due to a leak in the restaurant.




Up to 30 THOUSAND appointments and ops were cancelled due to...
 The University College Hospital, Whittington Hospital (pictured) and Royal Free Hospital were said to be the locations of where patients were referred

'Found extremely high levels of carbon-monoxide in her blood from exposure in this restaurant.

Thank God she's ok - could've went very wrong.'  
The alleged incident came just a day after 10,000 medics walked out of hospitals across England and Wales for the second time in a week over a pay dispute.
Pressure upon the NHS has been so high that patients have even been told to ask themselves 'am I going to die?' before turning to emergency services.
