READING that story from an A&E senior nurse regarding an account of working on a Sunday shift at the Heath Hospital. It is an utter disgrace that our dedicated team of doctors, nurses and all the other staff have to work in these conditions.

And all our wonderful first minister can say is "correct” to the claims it is more stressful than a war zone. Carwyn Jones, like most politicians, blames everything and everyone else bar themselves.

This nurse suffered the trauma of being in Iraq and to come home and compare our health service to this is scandalous. Carwyn Jones, Mark Drakeford, Stephen Crabb our Minister for Wales in London, Jane Hutt should hang their heads in shame every last one of you.

Nothing but your resignations should be good enough.

To highlight the issues on just one shift must have taken the nurse a lot of soul searching and we must take our hats off to her.

She recalls that at the end of her shift she sobbed her heart out; this cannot be allowed to carry on.

She further described that she had made decisions that put patients at risk and put staff under extreme pressure.

The CEO of the Vale University Health Board Adam Cairns stated that, extraordinary measures are being taken to ease the daily pressures, including more beds, more staff.

Oh really, where were they on this Sunday shift then? I think the resignation of Mr Cairns should be requested along with incompetent politicians.

While we have these people in charge, our NHS will continue to be a desperate struggle for the wonderful staff that we rely on to make us well.

This nurse should be given the full backing of the people and we must vent our absolute anger on the politicians of this country for causing this mess.
