Welsh Government campaign launched to support young carers

Launched during Carers Week by the Welsh Government, the social media campaign aims to help young people recognise their caring roles and connect them to available support services.
It highlights the experiences of young carers like Tamanna, who support family members with disabilities or long-term health needs.
Tamanna said: "I am a 23-year-old British Bangladeshi.
"Alongside my siblings I am an unpaid carer for my mum who has a range of medical conditions.
"As I live with her, I am her primary carer.
"I don't think about this as care as it's my mum and I love her dearly and want the best for her.
"However, it can become difficult when I am unable to take time off from work.
"It's a struggle but we manage by working together as a family.
"Eid celebrations are always at my mum's house where everyone comes together to enjoy the much-needed family time."
She highlighted that this time gives her 'a form of respite' as there are others there in the house.
"This is what Eid truly means for us.
"It is a time of remembering and being there for one another."
The Welsh Government estimates that around 30,000 young carers live in Wales, many of whom remain unidentified and unsupported.
Dawn Bowden, minister for children and social care, said: "As we mark Carers Week, hearing voices like Tamanna's reminds us that caring responsibilities don't pause for holidays.
"This campaign helps young people recognise when they're caring and connects them with vital support.
"We want to ensure young carers don't miss educational opportunities or struggle with their wellbeing.
"By seeing themselves in these stories, I hope more young people will reach out for the support they deserve."

Rules for cattle relaxed in the new Bluetongue rules

Cattle moving from England into Wales WILL be permitted if they are vaccinated for bluetongue, the Welsh Government says - but sheep must still be tested before crossing the border. In a new announcement on Friday, the Welsh Government confirmed it will allow cattle fully vaccinated with Boehringer Ingelheim's Bultavo-3 vaccine, to move under licence, from a Restricted Zone to Wales without a pre-movement test – however this will not apply to sheep. There has been outrage amongst Powys farmers about rules being brought in from July 1 which would mean that any sheep that crossed the Welsh border would require a test for the bluetongue virus. Tests for Bluetongue cost anywhere from £40-£70 per animal meaning some farmers would be faced with bills of tens of thousands to move livestock across the border for grazing or for going to market. The Welsh Government confirmed that 'all sheep must be pre-movement tested and require an accompanying licence to move into Wales to live from the Restricted Zone (RZ) in England, as no vaccine products currently meet the requirements for protecting sheep from BTV-3 to allow them to move out of the RZ.' Deputy First Minister with responsibility for Climate Change and Rural Affairs, Huw Irranca-Davies, said: 'My goal at this stage remains to keep Bluetongue out of Wales for the benefit of our animals and those who keep them. 'The economic and farmer wellbeing concerns caused by dealing with severe Bluetongue are first and foremost in my mind. "I also want to allow more time to observe the severity of the disease in England, and for keepers to vaccinate their herds and flocks.

Should the evidence change, and we need to alter the policy, we will revisit and review this in a dynamic way. 'Our shared priority over the coming weeks is to promote vaccine take-up. All representatives at the Roundtable I recently convened were unanimous in their support for vaccination as the best method of protecting livestock and reducing the impacts of Bluetongue." 'I cannot in all conscience invite Bluetongue into Wales, but we are prepared to adapt to the evolving disease situation.' In the announcement, the Welsh Government also confirmed that as a response to increased risk of Bluetongue, including 'temperatures that are consistent with the active transmission period,' these measures will come into force as of today (June 20) in relation to the current Restricted Zone in England, which covers the east of England.

A woman died after waiting more than 15 hours for an ambulance

The death of a woman who waited more than 15 hours for an ambulance has sparked an urgent warning from a coroner. Assistant Coroner for North Wales East and Central, Kate Robertson, said delays in ambulances handing over patients at hospitals was tying up resources. She said one of the main reasons for this was that people who can be discharged from the main hospitals, have to remain, because there is no social care provision or community hospitals to move them to. She has now sent a Prevention of Future Deaths Report to the Welsh Government's Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, Jeremy Miles, expressing her concerns, following an inquest she conducted into the death of Jeanette Sidlow Beech. The inquest heard Mrs Beech had a history of alcohol withdrawal related seizures. On August 2, 2024, at her home address, she began to feel unwell. Her husband contacted the Welsh Ambulance Service Trust (WAST) at 12.52pm. The call was categorised as Green 3 response with an estimated time of arrival given as two hours. A second call was made at 3:16pm, indicating increased pain and vomiting with an impending seizure and had been upgraded to an Amber 2 category after clinical review. A third call was made at 3:51am when Jeanette was struggling to breathe, her body was seizing up and she was vomiting. The call was generated as red. A resource arrived at 4:05am and despite efforts to save her, Ms Beech was confirmed as having died at 4:50am. A narrative conclusion was given at the inquest. In the report, Ms Robertson said: "It took a total period of 15 hours and 13 minutes for an ambulance to attend upon Jeanette, by which time she was in cardiac arrest and resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. "Whilst evidence was received and heard during the inquest that efforts have been and are still being taken by WAST to improve the situation regarding ambulance delays, there remains significant concerns with hospital handover delays. "It is well known, having heard evidence in previous inquests, that the causes of ambulance delays are multifactorial. They do not rest solely with WAST." Ms Robertson said many coroners in Wales have issued similar reports over the years, expressing concerns over the time it can take for ambulances to attend emergencies. She said in the report: "It appears to remain the case that the lack of social care provision and/or community hospitals means that those fit to be discharged from district general hospitals are not discharged and those in emergency departments or on ambulances outside emergency departments are unable to be provided with a bed in the hospitals such that ambulances remain outside emergency departments for hours. "Evidence was heard that between 2nd and 3rd August 2024 at Betsi Cadwaladr University Local Health Board the longest delays in ambulance handover times were in excess of 6 hours and 7 hours." Ms Robertson said the issues identified were "pertinent to WAST, the health board and local authorities". She added: "There appears to be no improvement in these ongoing issues and I am particularly concerned that lives are being put at risk, and that deaths will occur into the future and will continue to occur where this situation persists." The Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care has given until July 24, 2025 to respond. Liam Williams, the Welsh Ambulance Service's executive director of quality and nursing, said: 'On behalf of everyone at the Welsh Ambulance Service, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Mrs Beech's family through what has undoubtedly been a difficult time. 'While we cannot change the outcome, we remain a learning organisation and are sincerely grateful to the coroner for her thorough examination of this case which identified and acknowledged the issue of handover delays, and the impact these have on our ability to respond to patients as we would want to. 'Unfortunately, the wait experienced by Mrs Beech reflects the impact of those delays along with the well-documented pressures across the entire NHS in Wales. 'We are working with Welsh Government and with our NHS partners to consider how we best alleviate these pressures and are taking steps to change the way we deliver our own services in future. "We are in contact with Mrs Beech's family and will work closely with them to respond to any outstanding questions or areas that they would like to speak with us about.' Tehmeena Ajmal, chief operating officer at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, said: 'On behalf of the Health Board, I extend my deepest condolences to Mrs Beech's family. 'Ambulance handover delays and the consequent impact on response times are symptoms of well-documented pressures across the wider health and social care system, which the Health Board is working tirelessly to address alongside partner organisations, including the Welsh Ambulance Service and the six local authorities in North Wales. "Despite the continued best efforts of all partners, this remains a hugely challenging area of work, with demand for services continuing to outstrip capacity.' The Welsh Government said: 'We'd like to express our condolences to the family of Jeanette Sidlow Beech. 'The Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care will be responding to the Prevention of Future Deaths report by the Coroner's deadline. 'We have been clear with health boards of our expectations, and they are actively working on improving ambulance patient handover. We have recently established a national clinically led taskforce to support these efforts.'

'Disappointing' figures show longest hospital waiting times rise again in Wales

'Disappointing' figures show longest hospital waiting times rise again in Wales Last month the Welsh Government said it had met an ambitious target, but the number has risen again Jeremy Miles said the latest health figures for Wales were 'disappointing' Wales' health minister has admitted it is "disappointing" that the number of longest NHS waits has gone up, a month after the Welsh Government said it was happy to have met a target set by the First Minister. Last year, Eluned Morgan said that by the spring she wanted the number of waits to be "around" 8,000. The corresponding figures came out in May, and showed the number of people waiting for more than two years from referral to treatment had been narrowly missed. ‌ When the First Minister made her comments the figure was around 24,000. In January it was 21,087 while in February it was 15,505, before it dropped to 8,389 - the lowest level since April, 2021. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here . ‌ This month, however, it has risen again, to 9,625, something health minister Jeremy Miles has said is "disappointing". The vast majority (6,106) are in the Betsi Cadwaladr health board area. Swansea Bay and Powys health boards have no pathways waiting longer than two years, while Hywel Dda and Aneurin Bevan university health boards each have fewer than 300 patient pathways waiting more than two years. This release of data includes the Easter holiday period. Article continues below The latest data for the longest waits shows: Betsi Cadwaladar: 6,106 Powys: 0 Hywel Dda: 208 ‌ Swansea Bay: 0 Cwm Taf: 1,168 Cardiff and Vale: 1,863 ‌ Aneurin Bevan: 280 Mr Miles said: "It is disappointing to see the increase in long waits in April after all the progress health boards have made over the last few months. However, this is an annual trend seen in April in Wales and also the other UK nations". Asked about his message to people in north Wales, where waits are longer, Mr Miles said there was a higher starting figure in the Betsi health board area, but that there had been "significant" reductions. ‌ Data shows the Betsi Cadwaladar figure in October, 2024, was 10,177, which fell to a low of 5,747 in March, then went back up to 6,106 this month. "My message to those patients is I absolutely agree that you should not have to be waiting so long for your treatment. There are a particular set of measures in place which the government has put in place to set clear expectations for the health board in north Wales, but also a key range of support for Betsi to be able to make faster progress," the health minister said. Mr Miles said Easter often caused an increase in the data due to staff being on leave and people's availability for surgery and treatments. ‌ "One of the things we want to see is a continuation and services being delivered differently so there's a more consistent pattern throughout the year right across Wales," he said. "What I want to see is those two years coming down, month on month. What we've seen in recent years, is over the Easter period is that can be a challenge and we're reporting on these figures today. We've seen this in other parts of the UK as well, it's not a challenge which is unique to Wales. "What I want to see is that we are heading steadily towards that figure where nobody's waiting more than two years for treatment. I'm confident that we've got plans that will get us there by the end of the Senedd term," he said. ‌ It came as the Welsh Government announced £120m, which it said was "new" money, to reduce the longest waits for planned treatment. The money, Mr Miles said, would: Reduce the overall size of the waiting list by 200,000 Eliminate all two-year waits Restore the diagnostic wait times to be reduced to under eight weeks by March, 2026 He said: "This new funding will mean more and faster appointments, tests and treatments over the next 12 months. We're asking people to do all they can to support the NHS by keeping their appointment and making sure they are fit and ready for treatment." Article continues below Urgent and emergency care services continue to see large numbers of people – this was the busiest May on record for the Welsh Ambulance Service, with more red, immediately life-threatening 999 calls. In emergency departments the average time to admission, transfer or discharge was two hours and 46 minutes across all emergency care facilities.
