THE National Health Service in Wales is in a worse situation than in England, MP Ann Clwyd has said. Ms Clwyd has been tasked with conducting a review of the NHS in England since she took a public stand about the health service following her husband Owen Roberts’ death in October. Cynon Valley MP suggests there is reluctance on the part of the Welsh Government to admit there are serious problems with the Welsh NHS.

Ms Clwyd said she had uncovered worrying statistics from the library at the House of Commons which suggest the NHS in Wales is in a worse place than the NHS in England. Twenty years of Labour being in charge of our beloved NHS and the result is a Labour MP has finally spoken out at the way it’s been run. I’m sure she is not the only Labour MP with these thoughts. Just to be sure these comments come from a Labour politician and not from Plaid Cymru.
