Lymphoedema causes children chronic 'pain and discomfort'

Children in Wales who suffer from a rare chronic illness will no longer have to travel so far for treatment.

Lymphoedema, a painful swelling mainly in the legs and arms, affects 54 children in Wales who are currently forced to travel to Liverpool or London for treatment.

But Health Minister Mark Drakeford has now said Wales will appoint the UK's first paediatric specialist in the condition.

Rhuanydd Clarke, from Port Talbot, tells BBC Radio Wales how paediatric lymphoedema affects her three-year-old son, Iestyn.
