My wife was kept waiting over 6 years whilst her rotator cuff damage worsened and her pain increased and her mobility decreased to the point she had to give up her job. The NHS gave her appointments which were frequently cancelled, and if not cancelled were with another doctor who would have a different opinion about treatment or would decide another xray or mid was needed. Eventually, she went and stayed with h her mother in Rome and paid for private treatment and physio. Eventually the NHS refunded around £5k of the £7k she had spent.

It so much depends on the surgery, at my doctor's surgery in Wales, I have always been able to talk to my doctor by phone. Yesterday they phoned me to offer an appontment with the doctor to review my prescriptions. The surgery also has an online consultations system. I used it once about a suspicious mole and had an appointment to see a dermatologist within a week.

Wales has a higher level of elderly, as well as higher levels of poverty which means more health related incidents. If you combine this, with underinvestment of the NHS within Welsh hospitals and additional services, it's understandable that this level care happens.

Labour in Wales have failed especially in health care. I’ve been waiting since 2019 to see a consultant re arthritis in both hips. Received a text message to contact the hospital and make an appointment, which I did, to be told that the clinic is now full. They could not tell me when the next available clinic is! What type of service is this?

Two overarching causes of the decline in Health Care weren't even mentioned 😶 Pretty much everyone understands that the Pandemic has massively increased waiting times, adding 18-24 months to most lists. What people seem less clear about is how devolved Health & Education are FUNDED & why there are such HUGE staffing shortfalls. FUNDING ALL the revenues from the devolved nations go to the Westminster Treasury & are added to the revenues of England. Westminster Government Cabinet decide what budget allocation to give to each Department - UK wide: Home Office, Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Ministry of Defence, etc - Devolved: Health, Education, etc for ENGLAND. The Devolved Departments budgets allocation for ENGLAND are then used to calculate how much each Devolved nation gets back from their revenue for each Devolved budget using the Barnett Formula. They are FIXED BUDGETS that the Devolved nations then administer as best they can to meet the needs of their nation. The Devolved nations have limited or ZERO borrowing powers for Capital Projects - Buildings, bridges, etc & are not allowed to use Capital allocations for any other purpose. This arrangement essentially means they have to transfer money from one priority area to another to deal with the most urgent stresses. Tories LOVE pointing at the Devolved nations struggles that they've caused & saying - The crisis isn't because of a Tory Government because the same is happening in Wales under Labour & the SNP in Scotland - And they get away with it because they're RARELY, CLEARLY challenged by the Legacy Media. STAFFING SHORTFALLS This started a long time ago when we joined what became the EU & wasn't really a problem until we left it. (No, this isn't an anti Brexit reason, although we could have had many different, arguably better deals.) The UK started to rely heavily on the already fully qualified nurses, specialist nurses, Jr doctors, surgeons & consultants from the EU to fill staffing shortfalls - Essentially replacing the same already qualified coming from the Commonwealth - rather than increasing the number of UK training places needed to cope with an increasing population due to people living much longer. UK training places used to be paid for out of general taxation & had a bursary attached - NOW students are in thousands of pounds of debt by the time they qualify, (Different in Scotland where it's significantly less debt because they don't pay tuition fees.) Pay has been frozen or increased by less than inflation for 12 years. This means their pay is worth between 20-30% less than in 2010. The Health Service they work in is under even more pressure because of the lack of funding in Social Care, (which also lost HUGE numbers of staff when we left the EU), resulting in bed-blocking ➡️ A&E crisis ➡️ ambulance times increasing ➡️ excess deaths. People must be rushing to training places to work in our NHS 😕 Thing is, immigration, employment law & funding are ALL decided by Westminster Government's NOT the Devolved Governments.

The people of this country have had money taken from their wages every week since the NHS was started only to find that it does not mean very much because the NHS is no longer fit for purpose. They are still currently extorting money every week for which the donors are not getting a lot in return. The NHS as we knew it is finished. The other unacceptable facet to this is that some NHS surgeons are alleged to be carrying out private work in private hospitals while employed by the NHS ???? This should be stopped immediately. If they want to do private practice, then set it up privately and pay for it themselves . Worse still is the fact that it is alleged that many of them are seeing patients privately, and then fast tracking them through the NHS system ( is that what could be called queue jumping ) all of this means that when an NHS surgeon does a private job in NHS time, a " Joe Bloggs " gets passed over and has to wait even longer. The NHS is allegedly run by the consultants on a Hospital to Hospital basis as they are allegedly determining just what happens and when ??

IMHO Wales is one of the worst places to live even without an NHS in crisis (e.g. terrible climate for most of the year, bad food, crumbling ancient infrastructure, places like Rhyl the most depressing on earth, it's like a third-world deprived country). My advice as soneone who unfortunately lives here but cannot afford to move elsehwere: move if you can. It might look picture-postcard idyllic in summer with the sun shining and birds tweeting but living here 360 days a year is a totally different story. God help me literally if I ever have to depend on the NHS.

How is it possible with all these doctors and engineers coming over in rubber dinghy, they are supposed to be making such problems better not worse

"Threatening to hurt themselves IN ODER TO TRY TO GET ACCESS TO TREATMENT"??? FOR REAL? Maybe they are merely asking the question, if inflicting pain on human in a military prison like Abu Ghraib is considered torture, how long are they supposed to wait until stopping the pain becomes available for them as well? The UK is one same country. If there are no places for surgery in Wales, there is no space available anywhere! Practically if you have the money to see a private doctor you receive care, and if you don't you feel like you are begging the Abu Ghraib's prison guards to have mercy on you and stop the pain! How long time do you think one would spend begging for mercy, until they come to the conclusion the only department actually working in the NHS is the morgue?

She was not forced to go abroad. If she was low priority on the waiting list shed have to wait. Obviously her operation was not necessary. If you are crippled or in a life threatening way you get sorted out in around 3 to 6 months. I have sympathy for her as ive had it in both hips but i became wheel chair bound within 2 years of being diagnosed. She needs to press her GP and chase up the consultation appt. If shes really in pain they will give her morphine which helps. Its up to her to point out how urgent her op is. You can get treated faster if you speak out.

You have a skilled surgeon spouting on about lack of this and that yet he’s in a multi million pound empty operating theatre!!!!! That’s absolutely typical

If on strike, are employees paid still? I never knew how a strike worked. You know what I mean.

Those on strike don't get paid on strike days. Only specific days are strikes and emergency care is still operated, yet because of the tories it's dysfunctional.

Strikers don't get paid. When you see them striking just remember that many of them are putting themselves through real hardship to do so; they're not doing it for fun, or so that they can 'stick it to the man', they do it because the status quo is intolerable.

From what i saw today some of them could do with missing a meal 2 or 3 meals

1974 there was a payrise of up to 40% for nurses and midwives under labour government

I'd rather wait years than know that I did not have to wait years, but would go absolutely financially bankrupt over getting a surgery, like people do here in the US. I am not denigrating the seriousness of this report, but there are intolerable problems with the healthcare "system" in the US too. The psychological and emotional stress for patients and one assumes for some of the healthcare providers is extreme.

The grass is always greener - would you rather die or be bankrupt? Pick your poison. In the UK the waiting times for an ambulance is in the order of several hours. That could be you waiting for HOURS with a heart attack before getting an ambulance. Then several hours more in the Emergency department waiting to be seen. Waiting times in A+E are not uncommonly in excess of 10 hrs. At that point you near enough have no healthcare system.

@@Sydneysider1980 I'm an American journalist who has used the health care services in the US, Australia (Spring Hill area of Brisbane, to be exact), southern Wales, and Prague, Czech Republic, paying cash out-of-pocket to pay for the medical services in foreign countries. The best, least expensive, least amount of bullsh*t, most efficient, and quickest health care ? Australia, hands down.

1 pound in Every 10 pounds spent goes on PFI payments, at credit card interest rates

100k they spent telling nurses to call breast feeding chest feeding oh and how much money has been wasted on hormone blockers for kids or surgeries that were never needed

It's so so bad!!!! Terrible

Maybe start by telling those who can afford to, to go private (i mean people with millions or hundreds of thousands saved up)

or sack the staff who have played the phony covid variant card for 3 years extra holiday ....on full pay. NHS ? An endless pit of wasted resources

Everything changed during pandemic, so many consultants and doctors plus nurses refused to be vaccinated, unfortunately they had to resign, most of them resigned in tears because it's the job's they loved doing, we need them back, because vaccinated or not you get covid anyway and either way you can die, that they never told us, bring back any NHS staff who resigned.

Why don't you get private cover and help pay for your own healthcare like the rest of the world does?

A failing government won't transform our economy or our standard of living. Another term, no way after we have suffered for the stagnation, inflation and poorly management in both foreign and home affairs

We are letting too many people in the country, send them back and the housing and nhs problem will sort itself out.

Wales runs the NHS in their country and they have a Labour Government.

The welsh need to be able to raise local taxes. Rather than expecting the English to keep subsidising them. They already get more per head from the exchequer than the English.

When he was confronted the chief minister Mark Drakeford went BALLISTIC!!!!!!!don't blame me!!!!!!!!stop wasting money on posing and look after the people of Wales

The NHS is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. The public are suffering and dying.

it is time to sack the Doctors and nurses. Stupid high salaries and the dont pull their weight causing this crisis. Now have the audacity to strike.

Q. How many Ruzzian trolls does it take to change a bedpan? A. One, but the other members of the squad have to smear the contents all over a comment section near you.

This'll teach them for voting tory.

Billions wasted, prudent management, not paying billions to agency staff, not paying billions in PFI payments Every day lost costs taxpayers as people cannot work

Excuses, excuses,excuses. Waiting in Wales is twice as long as England. Why ?

NHS is as same as Brexit. Not your call commoners. You could go private as how Sunak mentioned. Please send more aid to Ukraine.

This labour catastrophe of a government here led by Drakeford is destroying Wales

We need higher immigration to fix this. More nurses and doctors arriving on boats

Don't tell me let me guess. The NHS needs more money?

How many of our recent overseas visitors have registered with already oversubscribed doctors and the NHS. Been quite a few people dumped there into small communities recently.

This is 12 years of Tory austerity, and people should say thank you to Jeremy Hunt former Health secretary. Even a developing country in UE invests higher GBP per capita!! So the Torys don't invest, people pay, and now they looking at how to sell NHS and force people to pay even more - despite the contribution that all of us pay already.
