A senior Conservative MP in a border constituency has attacked the NHS in Wales for not allowing patients to be treated in England.
Forest of Dean MP Mark Harper said English patients registered with a Welsh GP now faced longer waiting times and poorer quality services if they were barred from being treated in England.
He accused the Welsh Government of a ?cynical move? to take cash from ?English taxpayers? to maintain ?under-utilised facilities?.
Immigration minister Mr Harper is lobbying UK Government Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Welsh Secretary David Jones about the impact of ?Labour? policies on his constituents.
