The Welsh Government is planning to spend £2m to install more mobile phone charging points and better WiFi in A&E.
The Welsh NHS is currently under extreme pressure with skyrocketing waiting lists. Accident and emergency is also under great strain with many waiting in ambulances outside of hospital. WalesOnline recently spoke to a grandmother who spent six days sat in a chair in Cardiff's UHW's A&E department.
Speaking at the Welsh Government's press conference health minister Eluned Morgan said that there would be £2m to improve hospital waiting room. She said: "If you’ve ever spent time in a hospital waiting room, you will know how important it is to have somewhere comfortable to sit; access to information and access to food, water and facilities for children. This new funding will also be spent on improving Wi-Fi and providing phone charging points so you can keep friends and family in the loop. So, while we’re taking action to cut waiting times, we’re also improving the experience for people who need to visit hospital this winter."
