Local healthcare needs to change before vulnerable people suffer

The Issue

The new services at goodwick surgery need to be improved. Many people are concerned for various reasons. Confidentiality being one of those. Having to explain exactly what your problem is over the phone, then waiting for a call from a health professional in Cardiff to see whether an appointment is needed. How can you be accurately diagnosed without being seen ? Young children and pregnant women have been made to wait all day for a phone call to check whether an appointment is 'needed'. This isn't right, it can affect anyone negatively especially those most vulnerable. It's only a matter of time before someone seriously suffers because of the lack of care available. Serious improvement is needed.
