Staff at a major hospital tell of pressure they are under, with the worst of winter still to come.
BBC NewsIt's just after dawn and senior staff at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital are holding their morning meeting. I've been invited along.
But that wasn't straightforward, given a number of the hospital's usual wards were reporting staff shortages. And while they're stuck, they can't respond to other calls in area where a life could be at immediate risk. Gemma Pearson, who leads the "stay well at home" team, said: "Of the two assessments we had this morning we've been able to turn them around, they've not needed any involvement."Ultimately we don't want to keep anyone in hospital and there are people we aren't able to turn around.
