There are around 1,500 people who cannot be discharged from hospital due to staff shortages.
Megan Haskell and Neve Campbell, both 19, are carers for All Care Ltd, Barry - but they are both leaving the profession to become paramedics."We put in a lot of hours. You could be on your day off and get five phone calls to cover some shifts," she said.
Their manager, Wendy Harvey, said many carers were leaving the sector for jobs in hospitality and retail as the pay was better.She said there were terminally ill people that they were unable to help because of the lack of staff.Keri Llewellyn says care workers need a minimum of £15 an hour She said better communication was needed, especially when the NHS set up new projects intended to help people out of hospital, as people were leaving care roles to work for the NHS.
He said it had been described not as a crisis but a national emergency and there were between 1,000 and 1,500 people who were ready to be discharged from hospital but could not go home because the right social care was not in place."That's the equivalent of taking Wales' biggest hospital out of the system because of delayed transfers of care into social care," he said.
