'Exercise more to save the Welsh NHS,' says health minister

Wales' health minister has asked people to try and live a more healthier life to help with the ongoing NHS crisis.

The Welsh NHS is currently in a state of total crisis with huge waiting lists, ambulances sitting outside of A&E for hours and incredibly low morale among staff. Health Minister Eluned Morgan is under immense pressure to get on top of the crisis and reduce the waiting lists going forward.

Speaking to BBC Radio Wales Breakfast, she apologised for the situation the health service is in. "I'm really sorry that we haven't been able to do better despite huge efforts that have been made across Wales," she said, adding: "We have put huge amounts of preparation in place... obviously it's not enough. We have very high levels of ill health in Wales and people can help themselves, do more exercise, stop smoking, eat healthier.
