Wales is in a Health Emergency. Ambulance delays leave patients in danger. Treatments are postponed for years. GP and dentist shortages deny families basic care. Waiting lists remain extremely high. Hospitals are cutting services. Staff shortages are severe. Health boards are in deficit, forcing communities to travel further. Urgent action is needed.
More details
All seven Welsh health boards are operating in financial deficit. Waiting lists remain among the highest ever recorded, with many patients still facing long delays for treatment. GP and NHS dentist shortages continue to limit access to basic care. Ambulance delays and hospital pressures remain severe, with services being reduced and staff under extreme strain. These conditions show a system in ongoing crisis.
