Welsh Liberal Democrat MP for Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe David Chadwick has responded to Morriston Hospital declaring the highest level of escalation, stating:

“This is yet more distressing news for my constituents. Week after week my inbox is full of stories of people having to wait hours for emergency treatment.

“I know it also has a huge impact on staff working at the hospital who are struggling to do their best under challenging circumstances.

“We need to see Welsh Labour get to grips with the crisis in our NHS, it cannot be acceptable that performance continues to lag behind England. The Welsh Liberal Democrats will continue to call for real investment in social care, to ensure people can be discharged from hospitals on time and space can be freed up. It is only then we will see an end to ambulances left queuing outside of our emergency departments.”
