Welsh NHS is in a mess

11:56am Friday 22nd March 2013 in Letters

LABOUR have finally taken their joker out of the pack in the Assembly reshuffle, with Lesley Griffiths being dealt a long-awaited demotion as health minister.

Devolution of the NHS is in disarray, with Welsh GPs blocking patients from treatment at hospitals in England. This postcode lottery is gambling with patients’ health to prop up the Welsh NHS. The stakes are high and Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies is right to call on new health minister Mark Drakeford to lay his cards on the table and bridge the gap between England and Wales.

"Katie Redmond Conservative Party Candidate Monmouthshire"

Why has the conservative party selected a candidate who does not know where they are? Monmouthshire is a local authority for which you cannot be a candidate. You could be a candidate for one of the wards within Monmouthshire but, just to keep you up to date, those elections were last year. You could of course mean Monmouth Constituency but if that is so have you usurped David Davies MP or Nick Ramsey AM. Either suits but I think the public should be told.

How are we to know it is in a mess ? the OOH services has collapsed, do you ring 111 ? 999 ? NHS Direct (Always good for a laugh), or your own local surgery OOH Dr ? In reality NONE of the above, because by the time they sort it, it is no longer out of hours.

You would need job's patience and an ear for Vivaldi too. Or, if you have an hearing problem there is no way to call anyway, and the ambulances never turn up so.....

Online the only major reports apart from the patients group were two from the sectors with hearing loss, a sector currently that has NO access to OOH services unless their family makes the call. Another suggestion read was NHS Direct is to be scrapped as 'not fit for purpose' and mainly inaccessible. There are complaints too lucums could not speak or understand English properly, and some from Europe were commuting here than flying back there, our NHS a great little earner apparently. Of course to complain your OOH Doc is unintelligible is... discrimination (Via European diktat obviously).
