WHY are Welsh cancer patients being denied treatment which is readily available to patients in England? Have I donated to Cancer Research every month for the past 13 years just to benefit the English? Welsh cancer patients are moving to England just to get treatment, or paying privately. Disgusting!
English heart surgery waiting lists are 38 weeks. Welsh lists are 3 years long. So many people die waiting. It’s very unfair as people in Wales pay for the NHS too. What’s the difference?
35 people died in Wales last year waiting for an organ. Organs are supposedly allocated on a clinical needs basis. They don’t match Welsh people, but miraculously match foreigners who fly here from far and wide, especially from countries where donating is forbidden. Private, of course. Start treating poor Welsh people.
