Hospital consultants have spoken out to warn that A&E departments are at the point of meltdown and patients are dying as a result.

Almost half of the Wales' A&E consultants have signed a joint letter to new Health Minister Mark Drakeford.

It says pressure to meet financial targets has meant the loss of beds "at the expense of quality care".

Earlier this month A&E units were under intense pressure with record numbers of patients.
