Painting Unveiled to Show our Gratitude to our NHS Heroes

I was honoured to present this fantastic painting to The Princess of Wales Hospital on behalf of the Bridgend Disabled Veterans Random Act of Kindness Association. This painting expresses our gratitude as a community for the incredible work of our NHS heroes, many of whom made extraordinary sacrifices to ensure they could continue to provide patients with the best care possible throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Letter to the Welsh Government Regarding Emergency Service Waiting Times

  • NHS

I have written to the Welsh Government to call for a public inquiry into the excessive emergency service waiting times in Wales. I am incredibly grateful for the tireless work of our paramedics. However, it is imperative that the Welsh Government address their mismanagement of this vital service.

Surgical Hubs In Bridgend

NHS Waiting Lists in Wales

Health service waiting lists are considerably higher in Labour-controlled Wales than in England, with one in five in Wales on a waiting list. I raised this issue in the House with Health Minister Edward Argar. I was pleased that the Health Minister agrees with my concerns and believes that the Welsh Government must present a plan to bring down the excessive waiting lists in Wales.
