'Modernising' the NHS in Wales - will it work?
The thing that I keep hearing about all these planned changes to our local hospital services is that it's part of a bigger picture, a grand plan, and one that the powers-that-be are calling a 'modernisation of the NHS in Wales'.
Now I'm certainly no expert on hospital and health care management but, on the face of it, the 'changes', albeit still in the planning stages, don't appear to be for the best or else why would so many people come out in protest against them?
Is it the change we fear most or are people's concerns - mainly about reducing local services in favour of an improved central service - legitimate? I'd be interested in what you thought.
- Apparently, all the changes are being considered as part of The Welsh Assembly Government health strategy, .
