Unfortunately, things are deteriorating. We're seeing examples of people saying, 'Well, there's no point for me to phone the doctor', 'There's no point for me to phone for an ambulance because I'm not going to get there.'

I'd like to focus specifically on the impact of the crisis on women, who, of course, count for over 50 per cent of the Welsh population. Again, studies show that the gender health gap continues to exist and that there are barriers facing women in terms of accessing the healthcare that they need.
