Straight from the opening with First Minister Carwyn Jones, Mark Drakeford, Minister for Health and Social Services called in to the Radio Glamorgan studios. Excited, passionate and eloquent as ever, he explains his pleasure at the completion of the second phase of the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales. The hospital is a collaboration between donors, the University, the health board and Welsh Government, “an example of the long tradition of collective and cooperative ways of doing things in Wales”, said Drakeford.
No stranger to the RG studios, he once again speaks with frankness and clarity about some of the difficult decisions his portfolio brings.
(In March 2009 I broadcast a live interview with the team of cyclists crossing USA to raise funds for the Noah’s Ark Appeal. Catch it here.)
