‘We’re under extreme pressure’: the state of the Welsh NHS

NHS Wales under pressure as chief executive Dr Andrew Goodall speaks to Today.

As health services around the UK begin to cover from coronavirus, the NHS in Wales is struggling. Ambulance waiting times are still exceeding targets and patients waiting more than nine months for planned operations are at record levels.

Paramedic John Hillman and Diana Goldstraw, who’s waiting for a hip replacement, share their experiences with the programme. Concerns have also been raised about maternity services - Emma Mills who is a consultant midwife at Aneurin Bevan Health Board also speaks to Today. Finally, Justin Webb is joined by Dr Andrew Goodall, the Director General for Health and Social Care and the NHS Wales Chief Executive.
