Wales Online today reports yet more evidence of Labour's failing with regard to our health service as nursing leaders slam the unacceptable number of bed shortages

"The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in Wales said patients are being placed on hospital trolleys for hours on end and treated in corridors as the traditional "winter crisis" turns into a year-round event"

Wales Online this week in a report in the Council election results stated that;

The 'Leader's column' from Anthony Christopher, newly elected RCT Labour leader, gives a clear indication of the sort of nonsense that can be expected from the new administration. Yet more talk of the 'Con-Dem' government cuts, more cheap, childish jibes at the opposition,

The Council elections took place on May 3rd when residents of RCT had the chance to elect their local representatives and influence the way in which local services are delivered.
