Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 2:39 pm on 3 July 2019.
Thank you, Minister. Until April of this year, residents of Bridgend fell under that health board. They're now covered by Cwm Taf, which, while still under joint escalation and intervention arrangements, aren't as bad as the former ABMULHB. However, that's not helping patients in Bridgend. Last week, one of my elderly constituents, also a friend, had a stroke and was injured as a result. He waited nearly three hours for an ambulance and he also waited nine hours at the accident and emergency department at the Royal Glamorgan, as the Princess of Wales was full. He's 85 years of age. So, Minister, when can patients living in Bridgend expect to see improvements to the NHS under Cwm Taf?
