MS Patients Face Travel Crisis in Wales
Description
Patients with multiple sclerosis in Wales are enduring punishing travel burdens to see specialists, with some facing six-hour round trips — a crisis fueled by severe NHS staff shortages, especially in North Wales. MS nurses are overwhelmed with 30% higher caseloads, turning care into a postcode lottery. Young patients like Eirlys Ryder, diagnosed at seven, endure exhausting journeys that linger in their well-being for days. While the Welsh government pledges to bring care closer to home, advocates insist real investment and lived-experience input are urgently needed to fix the system.
