A general view of staff on a NHS hospital ward
A BELEAGERED Welsh government’s handling of the NHS has been hit by angry nursing leaders and a sharply critical Senedd committee report.
Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Wales yesterday urged the Welsh government to take decisive steps to eradicate corridor care, pause hospital bed reductions and review capacity to ensure adequate care in both community and hospital settings.
RCN Wales’ Helen Whyley said: “Nurses are facing immense challenges in maintaining high standards of patient care amid the growing prevalence of corridor and chair care in hospitals.
We need a massive change in direction to renew a crumbling health service — that’s why Plaid Cymru has an ambitious plan to recentre primary care by recruiting 500 additional GPs and opening six new elective care hubs across Wales, writes MABON AP GWYNFOR
Government urged ‘to tackle the root causes’ of the NHS crisis and improve ‘social care services’
