Wales cancer patients 'deteriorating' amid radiologist shortage

The Royal College of Radiologists says NHS Wales has 88 fewer radiologists than it needs, a 28% shortfall, rising to 42% in north and west Wales against 22% in the south. For the first time, it has reported some patients deteriorating while waiting for scans. Betsi Cadwaladr health board says recruitment is ongoing and reporting times have improved despite rising demand.
