HEALTH Secretary Jeremy Hunt used a visit to Hereford County Hospital (HCH) today (Thurs) to take the latest shot in his cross-border standoff with NHS Wales.
Mr Hunt cited Wye Valley NHS Trust (WVT) being put into special measures as an example of the “honesty” NHS Wales and the Welsh Assembly should be showing to patients.
Putting hospitals into special measures acknowledged problems and allowed for solutions – the approach NHS Wales should be taking to what its own statistics show, he said.
During an allotted five-minute interview slot, Mr Hunt had been asked whether, in his opinion, NHS Wales and the Welsh Assembly should be doing more to assist WVT over its issues with Welsh patients.
