Today our Prime Minister has announced a 10 year programme for “mending” the NHS in England. No mention of the broken Welsh NHS which has been in the hands of the Labour Party for 25 years. Now is the once in a lifetime opportunity to unify the Welsh and English NHS , especially in light of his drive to make greater use of a digital platform for each patient. There must be access to patient information across the UK, which doesn’t happen at present. There is considerable cost involved in the repetition of tests because results are not shared.
