"Waiting lists are symptoms of a problem. The solution is properly resourcing general practice to reduce pressure on the wider NHS. Every £1 spent in primary care saves £3 in hospital costs & £14 in the wider economy. Good for patients, NHS & the taxpayer." - @ChristmasRowena

[Welsh Government Health and Social Care @WGHealthandCare]

Care in the community by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists are vital and important services.

We're investing in their skills with an extra £5m of recurrent funding to develop the services so that they can help even more patients.

Mary is currently part of @SwanseabayNHS's ‘virtual ward’ scheme that provides enhanced community care.

Rather than being treated in the hospital, she receives the care she needs from home.

We’re providing £8 million to develop transformational schemes like this across Wales.
