In the above, there is not a mention of the Welsh Labour government nor of it’s Health Secretary (who knows). Most strikingly, the Conservative opposition shadow health secretary is not platformed. Only the ambulance service is expected to plan changes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-66751473

Imagine that in Scotland?

In 2010, BBC Scotland had a tiny 208 word report on no actual patient death: ‘No patient risk’ after 999 fault yet found space for this:

No patient was put at risk as a result of a failure in the phone system at Scotland’s ambulance service, the health secretary has said.

Nicola Sturgeon said back-up systems coped with the incident, on 21 July, in which no 999 calls were received by three call centres for some hours.

But she told MSPs that changes had been put in place to avoid any repetition.

The failure of the BT system saw callers diverted to Belfast and the north of England.

Commenting on the incident, Ms Sturgeon told parliament: “Detailed investigations by the ambulance service remain on-going, but I hope members are assured the difficulties experienced by the service are being responded to with the thoroughness they deserve.”

Labour health spokeswoman Jackie Baillie demanded further reassurance and complained the problems were only now being disclosed to parliament for the first time.

In November 2017, in Police call mistakes due to ‘human error’, we read from the second paragraph:

The Scottish Conservatives have highlighted a list of 202 errors made by the force over the past year.

On Thursday, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson challenged First Minister Nicola Sturgeon over the errors, some of which saw officers being sent to the wrong address.

But in England, as in Wales, in an almost 800 word report this year: I worry we’re killing people – ambulance dispatcher, the Health Secretary, Steve Barclay is not asked to comment nor does the shadow health secretary, Wes Streeting, make an appearance. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64190442
