Morriston Hospital specialists working more closely

The NHS in Wales appears to be performing no better or worse than the rest of the UK, a major international review has found.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) looked into UK health service quality, as a political row raged over claims of a "second class" NHS Wales.

The OECD has praised innovative ways of working.

One of them involves orthopaedic and plastic surgeons at Morriston Hospital in Swansea pooling their resources with therapists.

Retired bus driver Kenneth Jones, from Merthyr Tydfil, broke his leg in five places after falling 15ft from a wall into a skip. He needed complicated operations.

His orthopaedic surgeon Professor Ian Pallister explains how different disciplines working closely together, along with a "one-stop" clinic, has benefited patients and means fewer appointments.
