    “He says he was not aware of views within Public Health Wales (PHW) that there was astonishment that by early March the Welsh government was not treating it as major incident and civil emergency situation.

    He says PHW did not speak to ministers, directly, by routine.”

    Mark Drakeford statement at Covid enquiry this morning as reported by BBC.

    The final sentence maybe the root of all the health problems ……. Public Health Wales did not speak to ministers directly, by routine !!! Do they speak directly now and why didn’t PHW have that link regularly in place then?

    So the situation hasn’t improved in the Wrexham Maelor Hospital A&E as reported over 15 ambulances waiting outside on Monday and more worryingly a “3 day waiting list for a hospital bed” . This situation is deteriorating. Is our hospital being affected by the Wrexham Council
    budget cuts ? Are people waiting longer for social care packages to enable them to leave hospital? Time for the BCUHB and Wrexham Council to come clean to the public about what the root cause!

    How do you solve this chaos? Is it broken beyond repair ? Does any political party have and answer?

    So the Senedd is determined to plough on with increasing its membership to 96, whilst publicly saying there is no money to increase the pay of doctors. It is blatantly untrue that there is NO money, there is money but they have chosen to spend on themselves. Welsh Labour continue to prioritise spending on fripperies rather than needs.

    Thursday March 8th 9.45 am patient waiting time 1 hr 45 mins
    Currently in department:70 patients.

    This looks like a much improved waiting time despite quite large number of patients.

    “Insulate external walls internally, Retrofit ground floor insulation, Install draught lobbies at the entrances to improve thermal retention, upgrade all single glazed windows to double- glazed.”

    Agree , but surely all that should have been done during the multi million pound refurbishment.

    So the final increase looks like being 9.9% , still leaving a gap in the budget of nearly 2 million ! So looks like the original 12.5% was nearer the mark, as 1% brings in £600,000.

    The increase in the “corporate parenting” budget this year has been nearly £9 million pounds, totalling over £31 million pounds being spent. Why was there such a huge increase in cost this year and will it be an ongoing problem ? Is this money being paid to local authority providers or out of county private provision? Is Wrexham facing a higher demand for this type of provision than other councils ?

    So how many children are we talking about whose parental care is the responsibility of Wrexham County Council ? Does it just cover children in care and foster care?

    On the budgetary forecast point 13 , can anyone explain the spending on “corporate parenting” ? It’s a huge amount of money over £31,000,000.

    Senedd Finance Committee warned budget cuts could see thousands of council redundancies across Wales

    The Senedd still fail to understand that their poor budget management is causing major problems for all the county councils in Wales not just Wrexham. They still have vanity projects and will continue with them at any price, the expansion of members to 96 being the next one. How much will it cost per year to support this expansion? Is it a real need or just a want ?

    Dafydd Wigley agrees democracy is not best served by a “list” system. Devolution was supposed to bring democracy closer to the electorate , this system makes it more remote.
