Whereas the RSH have been starved of funding from Powys for many years - I always believed that the money was not forthcoming from the Welsh Assembly, who are obsessed with Wales receiving treament from Welsh hospitals, forgetting that North Powys has no choice but to go over the border into England for treatment. Someone should inform WAG that Wales does not end at the border of Glamorganshire!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-61942482461283821232009-03-04T15:46:00.000+01:002009-03-04T15:46:00.000+01:00Anon - Oh so true.

But I'm not going to criticise what Daniel said without checking my facts. I've already said that I intend to do that - and if that results inmy outlining disagreement with a political colleague, so be it.<BR/><BR/>Alison - Thanks. Time is my problem though - and I cannot take this further without a full briefing by Tom Taylor.Glyn Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344589217554138315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-8725669166741379482009-03-03T23:55:00.000+01:002009-03-03T23:55:00.000+01:00Parliamentary debate can be found here:http://www....Parliamentary debate can be found here:<BR/>http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2009-02-26a.407.0&s=speaker%3A11817#g459.1<BR/><BR/>Has video too.

Many of us remember that great colonial Welshman the late Sir John Harvey Jones and his TV progs on the Shropshire Health Service.<BR/><BR/>I get rather tired of my fellow neighbours also from the Midlands commenting on the large number of Welsh accents in a+e at Shewsbury. I for one am happy that my wife gets a great service at Gobowen which i often forget is in England.<BR/><BR/>Good service is through partnership and i feel sure that Powys and Salop can work well over Offas Dyke.<BR/><BR/>The same i am sure is true between Swansea and Cardiff?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
