The leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats claims there is a crisis in the NHS in Wales with hospital staff "overwhelmed" by pressure of work.
Kirsty Williams warned of the risk of a scandal similar to Stafford Hospital where people died because of appalling standards of care.
She spoke after visits with family to A&E and emergency admissions units at Abergavenny's Nevill Hall Hospital.
The local health board said it had opened extra beds and hired more staff.
Ms Williams told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement that the NHS was not coping despite the best efforts of staff.
