The Welsh Government should now step in and ensure that these trained and qualified Paramedics are hired to relieve the strain on the Welsh Ambulance Service.

NHS England told to keep patients in Powys waiting for operations One woman says the Welsh NHS

This is wild. A Welsh health board is saying that patients going to English hospitals are treated too quickly, and must wait longer. Wtf!?
