WELSH First Minister Eluned Morgan has insisted “we’re ready to learn” after sharing improvement ideas for the NHS in England and Wales.

Baroness Morgan pointed to free hospital parking and prescriptions in Wales and said, while the NHS in Wales needed reform, some key changes had already been made.
