Mps Supporting MND Won't Wait
Name Constituency Statement Bethan Aberavon Jenkins Sion Jones Arfon [E-mail to constituent – seeking permission to add] Sian Gwenllian Arfon [E-mail to constituent – seeking permission to add] Kirsty Williams Brecon and [E-mail to constituent – seeking permission to add] Radnorshire Carwyn Jones Bridgend [E-mail to constituent – seeking permission to add] Sam Gould Caerphilly If elected I would ask the Welsh Government to ensure best practice and support is implemented right across Wales and to ensure that diagnosis for MND is prompt and accurate. Elin Walker Cardiff North Hapus i gefnogi MND! Jones Happy to support MND! Julie Morgan Cardiff North I am supporting the MND Won't Wait campaign. Thank you for highlighting how crucial a prompt and accurate diagnosis of MND is. Neil McEvoy Cardiff North Patients should not have to wait the time they do. Anthony Cardiff South and Slaughter Penarth Dr Dafydd Cardiff South and I'm very pleased to support the 'MND Won't Wait' Campaign. One of the main planks of our health Trystan Davies Penarth policy is investment in diagnostic centres, waiting times across a range of serious health conditions including MND are unacceptably high, and by improving diagnosis times, patients will get better care. Name Constituency Statement Sean Driscoll Cardiff West Congratulations on the fantastic work that you do. In the event I am elected, you can be rest assured that I will be in contact to discuss your manifesto. Alistair Carmarthen West and I am very happy to champion MND in my community and if elected to the Assembly. I support a Cameron South Pembrokeshire prompt and accurate diagnosis of MND, ensuring best practice in care and support (like the new NICE guidelines) is implemented in Wales and will support local campaigns for councils to adopt the Charter.

System Reboot: Transforming Public Services Through Better Use of Digital
Transforming public services through better use of digital: An expert panel report for the Welsh Government System Reboot Transforming public services through better use of digital: An expert panel report for the Welsh Government Front cover: Ysgol y Bynea, courtesy of Allison Hurren © Copyright2 Lee Waters 2018 Introduction Digital solutions to problems have become commonplace, but there is a gap emerging between the digital expectations of citizens and the reality of Welsh public services. When my son was receiving regular care from a consultant I asked if I could avoid the car journey and a morning’s lost school for him by Skyping into the clinic instead. The answer was no. When I saw a local nurse about a minor skin condition I was asked to make a fresh appointment with a GP to have a photo taken to send away for examination. “It’s ok, I can take a photo and WhatsApp it to you”, I said, “I’m not concerned about privacy, I’ve read that the Security Services can’t even hack it”. The answer was no. I’ve since heard of some GPs who are developing their own digital workarounds but, as ever, this approach is patchy. After accessing a private GP service via an app on my smartphone within 8 minutes of checking availability, it’s a frustration to then spend 30 minutes repeatedly calling on the phone to get an appointment with my local NHS GP surgery. These are just anecdotes based on a few of my own personal experiences, but they demonstrate that the digital expectations that have been set by our everyday experiences of Google, Amazon and Facebook clash with the reality of the way public services work.
