Staff turnover 'very high' - Royal College of Emergency Medicine

Every emergency department in Wales is "on the edge" and staff shortages along with overcrowded hospitals mean too many patients are waiting too long, a leading doctor has warned.

Dr Robin Roop, head of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine in Wales (RCEM), said some patients were waiting more than 24 hours in A&E.

Dr Roop told BBC Wales health correspondent Owain Clarke staff turnover was a major issue.
