It is for doctors, not politicians, to decide the future of the Royal Glamorgan Hospital's A&E department, Labour First Minister Mark Drakeford has said.
The BBC reports that
So Labour politicians can claim to be leading the campaign against the closures and yet at no point criticise their own Welsh Government, it is the whole story of the Welsh Labour Government , who have did nothing to alleviate Tory Austerity Measures whilst their leaders in Westminster criticise the SNP government who have "because they are not doing enough".
What a bunch of hypocritical politicians .
Pontius Pilot would be proud of Welsh Labour.
At least one commentator has hit the nail on the head .
Clearly they hope that the Public in next May's Senedd Election will fall for this and vote for them rather than those who would try to solve the issue in a Plaid Government.
The BBC reports that
Local MPs in his party have been among those campaigning to stop the downgrade of services in Llantrisant.
On Monday Mr Drakeford criticised politicians for not leaving the matter to clinicians.
"It needs to be a clinically led, not a politically led decision," he said.
In comments have led to a backlash - Labour MP Chris Bryant said he would not make "any apologies for fighting for the A&E at the Royal Glamorgan".
Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is working on plans to close the A&E completely or overnight.
A decision to centralise emergency care in fewer hospitals was made in 2015, but a final decision is yet to be made
The health board said last week action was needed to avoid "unacceptable risk to patient safety" - with the service facing severe staff shortages.
Last week Labour Rhondda MP Chris Bryant chaired a meeting with the health board to discuss the hospital's future.
Newly elected Pontypridd MP Alex Davies-Jones has called for the A&E to be saved, as has her assembly colleague Mick Antoniw.
The three were joined in a photograph by MPs Chris Elmore, Beth Winter, Rhondda Cynon Taf council leader Andrew Morgan, and AM Huw Irranca-Davies, holding a Welsh Labour branded-banner reading "Save our A&E".
Opposition politicians such as Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood, the AM for Rhondda, have also been campaigning against the possible closure.But it is the Labour Party who have the power to do this even if they chose not to do so and one wonders when these Labour Politicians wil stand up in the Senedd and denounce the fact that their govenement is allowing this to happen
Mark Drakeford said the situation was not at the point that the Welsh Government would need to intervene
The Welsh NHS is devolved to Wales's political institutions and is funded by the Welsh Government, which is run by Labour.
In a press conference on Monday, Mr Drakeford said the discussions were for doctors.
"The discussion at the Royal Glamorgan is for clinicians and the board to carry out," he said.
So Labour politicians can claim to be leading the campaign against the closures and yet at no point criticise their own Welsh Government, it is the whole story of the Welsh Labour Government , who have did nothing to alleviate Tory Austerity Measures whilst their leaders in Westminster criticise the SNP government who have "because they are not doing enough".
"They need to do that with their local population."Working together with Welsh Assembly members, MP's and the Local Authority to ensure the best possible health service provision for the residents of RCT. We're working to save A & E services in Royal Glamorgan Hospital.
