I didn't know Labour still ran the NHS in Wales.

People on Question Time in Wales are whinging about the poorer standard of the NHS in Wales than in England.

The only Tory member of the panel is asked to explain. Basically, even though they are given more money per head than the English, the Labour run Welsh NHS standards are dire.He went on to say how it sums up Labour's use of money and how they would do if they were given control back to the whole of the UK purse!

So do Labour have any other powers in Wales even though they are the opposition and not in power?

That does surprise me. I thought more than 12% would be for people still in work and not retired or on benefits.

Hi

Plenty of other ways of getting free prescriptions:-

Most people who use the NHS are either elderly, children, have a chronic disease or are pregnant. The elderly are the biggest, by far. That's why most prescriptions are free and why all those arguments about GPs opening mornings/evenings and weekends are a bit of a waste of time - pensioners actually complain when they are offered an early/late or weekend appointment (and that's all that's left, because to afford to pay staff to open those extra hours, they have had to reduce some weekday hours).
