Hi Happytulip. He’s a nice guy but can’t run a health service. His boss Drakeford tried as well. 50% of the population of Wales live with in 25 miles of England. Wales is to small to run an inclusive health service, autoimmune conditions one of many examples. All views are my own. Best wishes Kevin

He answered a good question in relation to current affairs that weren't to do with health care.

Because I'm not Welsh I have no direct experience of the Welsh Health Care system although I do know that it needs a lot of work.

I'd love to live in Wales but with my health it would be impossible.

Maybe I was speaking to generally but his point about other current affairs was valid I thought.

I hope the meeting/zooming goes well.

It’s never easy. Sadly 50% + of the health Boards in Wales are in special measures at the request of national government, BCUHB for over five years. Yet Vaughan and team say that it’s not their problem, they have just highlighted it. The NHS front line staff in Wales are brilliant. Best wishes Kevin

This is a quote from a Welsh NHS civil servant’s letter to Wendy recently:

“Our role is to assure the Minister that services continue to improve, as will be your interest also.”

Some might suggest that it suits Sir Humphreys to avoid Ministerial ‘meddling’ and it suits Ministers to be told they are doing a great job by Sir Humphreys!

Best wishes Kevin
