:00:22.:00:24.

Last year the Royal College of Surgeons told BBC Wales heart

:00:25.:00:29.

patients at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff were waiting too

:00:30.:00:32.

I came in one week last Tuesday. Anthony is recovering from a triple

:00:33.:00:50.

bypass operation at University Hospital of Wales. He waited eight

:00:51.:00:54.

months. That was within the nine-month target of the Welsh

:00:55.:00:59.

government. He is happy with his treatment but was worried when last

:01:00.:01:02.

year senior surgeons said people were regularly dying while waiting

:01:03.:01:12.

for heart surgery at the hospital. It is worrying because you are

:01:13.:01:15.

waiting for a dive pass -- bypass and people are dying before they get

:01:16.:01:22.

one. Last year the Royal College of Surgeons told BBC Wales it was

:01:23.:01:28.

concerned that in five years 152 patients died while waiting for

:01:29.:01:32.

heart surgery in South Wales. The figure was later revised down to

:01:33.:01:37.

around 100. It also said that cardiac waiting times at the

Wales because the lists are too long. Now the Royal College of

:02:01.:02:03.

Surgeons says that while there is still substantial work to do there

:02:04.:02:07.

have been improvements. We have reduced the number of people who are

:02:08.:02:11.

waiting much longer than they should, 36 week weights have dropped

:02:12.:02:18.

by half and our plan is to secure a pathway for patients that means they

:02:19.:02:24.

get their surgery much more quickly. The Royal College of Surgeons says

:02:25.:02:27.

there are still concerns about the delays in cardiac patient care with

:02:28.:02:32.

some operations being made more complicated due to the condition is

:02:33.:02:35.

getting worse over time. The hospital says it has now taken on

:02:36.:02:40.

more surgeons and nurses and it is now carrying out cardiac surgery on

Clearly disappointed at the size of the UKIP vote and that few people

:04:27.:04:34.
