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.
The Westminster government have given the Senedd money to match the English business rates subsidy , for those that qualify , of 75%. However Mark Drakeford announced it would not use the money for that purpose, he has reduced the subsidy in Wales for those qualifying businesses to 40%. Where is he spending the rest of the money? Small businesses in Wales will have to spend 35% more from April , on their business rates compared to those over the border in England, and the labour government in Wales is totally to blame.
January 19th 2024 10.15 pm waiting time in Maelor A&E 1 hour and 15 minutes …63 patients.
One of the lowest waiting times recorded, although number of patients is about average.
Junior doctors in Wales have been offered 5% pay rise the lowest in uk. Another reason for UK wide NHS. Junior doctors are not going to work in Wales when better pay and conditions are on offer in England. Senedd say they have no money , but continue to spend on vanity projects like the millions spent on 20 mph scheme.
How many hospital beds are there in use in the Maelor Hospital ? Aren their beds un used because of staff shortages ?
How is equipment procured in Wales? Is there a national procurement scheme ( buying in bulk ) or are each health board responsible for their own?
January 8th 9.15 pm waiting time up to 18hours 15 minutes …105 patients .
From day to day there is a big difference in the number of patients in A&E , it must be very difficult to staff a department with such fluctuations. Is there provision to bring in extra staff when the number of patients is high?
Funny how people change Jeremy Miles voted for the 20 mph limit across Wales , which lead to millions spent on signs and £800,000 on advertising. Now he wants to review the 20 mph scheme. Nothing to do with the criticism of the scheme threatening his chance of becoming First Minister?
