Text of Petition
An article published on 31
July 18 stated that 178,000 operations in Wales were cancelled in the last 2
years (2016-2018), 70,000 due to non clinical reasons. 90,000 were cancelled in
2017/18.
In 2012 my son passed
away, he was placed on the waiting list for an emergency tonsillectomy in
September 2011 the first operation was cancelled because of no HDU bed being
available, the second and third was cancelled by ourselves because Dylan was
not well enough. The fourth and final operation was cancelled because of no HDU
bed being available this was scheduled to take place the day he died.
An investigation concluded
that had he had the operation he would have made a full recovery.
We are now fast
approaching almost a decade since his death and Cardiff and Vale heath board
assured me that changes had been put in place. It has become apparent given
these diabolical high figures that nothing has changed.
I call upon Vaughan
Gething, and the Welsh Assembly to put changes in place to ensure that the
number of cancelled operations are dramatically reduced. I personally find
these figures disgusting.
