They might be the worst but they are all utterly shambolic, is there not anyone who gives a damn for the people of Wales or the UK and is willing to provide adequate ambulances services and healthcare?
I know first hand just how abysmal the ambulance wait times are and it is causing needless deaths. | |

I don’t disagree.
The NHS needs a complete overhaul, I was in the POW Bridgend with my mum who is waiting for knee replacements the amount of people doing nothing is incredible.
No point throwing more money at it. | | | |

The uk government needs to allocate far more money on health and social care.
We can cancel Trident replacement and HS2 for a start. | |

To be fair I've seen the staff from both Morriston and PoW this year and the work they are doing and most were rushed off their feet when I had gone in with family. Cannot fault the effort of any of the staff i saw, but there were not enoigh of them to cope with amount of patients.
At Morriston i had been told that a number of staff had left due to the stress and ever increasing workload.
The ambulances are the worst in my opinion, often multiple hour waiting times.
Something needs to be done, funding the studies of trainee nurses and doctors would be a start. The problem is we have never funded the NHS based on what what was needed and it has therefore deteriorated to such a point now where it'll be a massive job to fix. | |

From my personal experience and knowledge, I’d 100% agree with your observations. NHS staff have had a pretty torrid couple of years and there is no doubt they’re leaving in high numbers, some are stressed out, disillusioned and leaving the profession completely while others go to work for agencies.
In many places wards are under staffed and failing to achieve minimum staffing levels; staff are being “asked” or rostered to work additional hours (well beyond contractual agreements) just to keep things ticking over. When they can’t get staff, the NHS has to bring in agency workers who are on considerably more money - this impacts on the budget, means there’s less to be spent on other things etc etc and it becomes a vicious circle.
There is scope to improve efficiency and reduce waste, there always is in every company and organisation. The Conservative Government has pushed the waste doctrine for ages in an attempt to justify reducing the budget - they’ve been in power across the UK for the last 12 years if it was such an issue why haven’t they sorted it? It’s just like the criticism we’ve seen from some of the National newspapers and extreme right immediately after the budget, initially it was a great budget for growth, the Treasury have prevented growth, blame Gordon Brown, blame the Establishment blah blah blah whereas in reality the budget was a disaster, how can they blame Brown and his fiscal orthodox when they Conservatives have been in power 12years and had ample time to change things.
The UK has an increasing population and and ageing population. The population in England and Wales has grown by 3.5 million in 10 years, that’s a big number. How many new hospitals did Boris promise, 40 wasn't it? Well it seems like Boris’s definition of a new hospital isn’t what it says in the tin and we’re getting nothing like 40 new hospitals. Capacity is tight and being pressurised.
Wales has one of, if not the highest number of older people as a proportion of the population in the UK. It costs the NHS costs something like 7 times more to care for an 85 year old than a 50 year old, factor in poverty, factor in things like poverty and the costs soon mount up. A lot of treatments are becoming more expensive, drugs are more expensive and the budget only goes so far. Social care is a major issue, there a huge amount of bed blocking going on and patients who are fit to be discharged are stuck in hospital because there are no care packages in place. If we can’t get people out of hospital then the place grinds to a halt, no beds on a ward means patients can’t be transferred from A&E for continuing care which in turn means ambulances are stuck outside A&E.
An elderly relative of mine had a fall earlier this year and sustained a laceration which needed general surgery. She spent somewhere in the region of 20 hours sitting in a chair at A&E as there were no beds available anywhere, it was like a scene from a military field hospital. Staff were rushed off their feet and doing the best they could.
Wales pays nurses a bursary and the tuition fees on student nurses as long as they remain in the Welsh NHS for 2 years after graduating.
The NHS is struggling and we need to have a mature conversation about what we want from it and what we’re prepared to pay to get the services we want. [Post edited 19 Oct 2022 11:00]

I must admit, I love seeing Drakeford squirm like that, just a shame the tory chap couldn't finish him off, as drakeford was completely losing it. 
Someone should be held accountable for what's happening at the nhs though, going up to Morriston Hospital is a bit of an eye opener these days, 16 hour wait, people left for hours and hours in need of an ambulance, and this was happening pre covid, seen a few times around Swansea where an elderly person has fallen in the street in the morning, and still there in the evening.. |  |

Agencies are not appropriate for everyday work with the NHS, speaking to a nurse last week they had 2 agency nurses for the week. Had to train them show where everything was etc and then they left. Costing a huge sum of money no doubt.
You're last point sums up the current right wing attitude, what are we willing to pay? Well a few that i know that have a bit of spare change go private and pay whatever is required. That appears to be what they want us all to be forced into doing.
If they tell people in a critical emergency your ambulance will be over an hour they'll drive the patient themselves.
It's not an easy fix but if anyone in power had the intention to it would've been done, unfortunately they don't care for anyone who uses the NHS as they themselves all have private health plans. | |

You will never understand Cymru as you see the people as ‘they’.
We who live in Cymru, see the people as ‘us’ and ‘we’.
All the people.
(Even that hard of thinkung idiot RT)
Making others ‘they’ is an old trick of Empire.
Its why your views are so often wide of the mark.
