For the record this is the statement released by Leeds Infirmary, confirming there was no bed. 
After posting this @marcowenjones delivered one of his useful analysis of the SM traffic on this subject.
Very obligingly @marcowenjones has done a follow up node analysis to map how the fake news spread.
