NHS: Care crisis left patient in hospital for weeks

A multiple sclerosis patient spent weeks in a hospital bed because there was no care available for him if he left.

Glyn Jones was well enough to leave University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff after six days.

But instead he spent three weeks stuck on a ward.

The 49-year-old, from Cardiff, said he felt like putting his hand up and saying: "I could go. I could free this bed up."
