Welsh heart patient, 83, forced to drive four hours for hospital tests

Charles Swift, an 83-year-old recovering cancer patient who has had two heart attacks, drove himself on a 140-mile round trip from Borth, Ceredigion, to Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest for heart tests. He was refused non-emergency transport because he owned a car. The Welsh Ambulance Services Trust said it cannot always meet rising demand and changes are underway.
