A disabled man wants to know why he spent three days ‘trapped’ in hospital because of a row over who would foot the bill for his transfer home.
Roger Whitting, from Oswestry, was taken to an accident and emergency department across the Welsh border after fears he may have suffered a stroke.
After a night in the Wrexham Maelor Hospital on May 20 Mr Whitting, who was full of praise for his treatment, was discharged.
But, having been left disabled in an accident in 2013, he needed an ambulance to get him home.
He was then effectively stranded because of a mix-up over NHS rules on who pays for cross-border ambulances at weekends.
