Labour government is ruining the NHS

-

I TRIED to get my blood test results this afternoon from bloods taken two weeks ago. The automatic answering service was mainly in Welsh and somewhere in it I think it said the surgery was closed. Results are only given out after 2pm and this has not happened in the past.

I have various problems with my health and regular blood tests are required to regulate the drugs I take. My regular check-ups at the hospital clinics have been cancelled, although one was done over the phone the others have disappeare­d.

Earlier today (Tuesday) the Welsh Government announced that before you can attend the A&E department you should phone the hospital. When you have an emergency the last thing you want to do is get involved with the hospital swichboard (that’s if you know the number).

I thought it was the Conservati­ves we had to watch with the NHS, but we have a Labour Government in Wales and they seem to be wrecking it day by day.

The death toll from Covid has more than doubled when you count in the patients who had their treatments put on hold or did not even get started.
