Now thats a shock, I would have blamed the person who was in charge of how the NHS is run. Drunks are not new, they are not particularly growing in numbers, and are a part of day-to-day life in A&E. So if someone is managing and targeting the NHS as though drunks hadn’t been invented it is them that is in the wrong.
Trying to exclude a subset of patients to make it look like he was closer to his targets won’t wash.
Last time I was in A&E I wasn’t drunk, and from memory neither was anyone else… Wish I had been, might have made the experience more tolerable!
More nonsense from the WG.
What an absolutely astonishing thing to say.
Blaming patients for the government’s constant failure.
Utterly ridiculous.
This patently inadequate, academic ideologue,is constantly deflecting the failures of his government.
Senedd is full of people like him. Dreamers with no track record of delivering anything in the real world and no context.
He’s a dreary Methodist and hence his stance on this.
Worst news is Gething is about to extend the legacy.
Not just drunks. I think the problems of NHS wales are more of a systemic nature than just a bunch of drunks in an A&E.
It’s bad management. Bad people in wrong positions. Lack of staff. Bad recruitment.
Think of this: Welsh and English trusts are haemorrhaging money in droves to recruit nurses. My SO is a RGN who now works in a private healthcare setting and wishes to go back to the NHS. They applied for a job in a Welsh hospital to be given a shit 10 minutes interview and no adequate feedback… what makes my blood boil is not even the rejection but the absolute lack of interest by the sorry excuse of recruiter to actually interview her for the job even, no qualifications check or RTW so there was no intention to actually give them a chance… clearly they already had the “best” person for the role…
I bet you that if she signs with an agency she will get shifts in our local hospital and even the same place she applied. At £25/h with no stability.
If you have incidents such as this happening at a relatively simple process (recruitment), I wonder what happens into the more complex nuts and bolts that kind of keep this shitshow running (procurement, compliance audits, clinical records)

Are the BBC just recycling news stories now?
