Politician continues for fight for better and fairer health care for Powys residents

Following my last article on Powys Teaching Health Board’s decision to artificially extend waiting times, I have continued to fight for Powys residents in Westminster.

I secured and led a Parliamentary debate to shine a national spotlight on the injustice facing patients in our area.

In Powys, we rely heavily on hospitals in Herefordshire and Shropshire because there is no major hospital within the county.

Yet under the Health Board’s new policy, Powys patients will now be subject to longer Welsh NHS waiting times, even when being treated in hospitals........
