I WAS shocked on recently attending the UHW as a victim of an alleged assault to find the ceiling leaking in the waiting room.

Didn’t the Welsh Government and the Welsh NHS recently spend millions at this Cardiff hospital A&E? Surely, if they spent money on improving the facility they would have spent money on the roof first. There were buckets around the room collecting drips on New Year’s day which was not a good impression.

Sadly, we are being let down that despite the Assembly bunging millions at health we still have leaking roofs and long waits for treatment. I am really grateful to the staff who are hardworking and dedicated yet have to work in conditions like this.

We must now ask is throwing money at the NHS the answer or is it just poor management?
