:49:37. > :49:41.down. Political opponents have blamed the health service's problems
:49:41. > :49:45.on a lack of funding. We know there has been a warning about the
:49:45. > :49:50.finances from within the Welsh Government itself. In March the
:49:50. > :49:54.Welsh Government's management board, made up of its top civil servants,
:49:54. > :49:58.said keeping the current range of health services would be
:49:58. > :50:04.exceptionally difficult within the budget available. A cash flat policy
:50:04. > :50:12.has kept funding steady it hasn't kept up with inflation. The budget
:50:12. > :50:18.for health delivery is expected to shrink by �6 million. The Health
:50:18. > :50:22.Minister say that is despite the recent run of bad news the NHS has
:50:22. > :50:29.plenty to be proud about. We don't explain enough to people the
:50:29. > :50:34.miracle... He came to see �1 million worth of new radiology equipment. As
:50:34. > :50:38.for the wider question of NHS funding, that is under review.
:50:38. > :50:41.purpose of the review is to make sure where there are new demands
:50:41. > :50:45.that the health service in Wales have to face, it will have the
:50:45. > :50:49.resources to be able to meet those demands. Conservative opponents say
:50:49. > :50:57.they would spend more on health, even if that meant bigger cuts
:50:57. > :51:01.elsewhere. We are seeing in three other major health boards critical
:51:01. > :51:05.reports coming out about governance, patient experience and, above all,
:51:05. > :51:09.the surgeons themselves pointing out that people are dying. The civil
:51:09. > :51:14.servants say without additional revenue there may have to be very
:51:14. > :51:17.significant changes to services. Some changes are already being felt
:51:17. > :51:22.in Flint, protesters campaign to keep open a Community Hospital,
:51:22. > :51:27.which is due to close on Friday. Just a lot of uncertainty. A lot of
:51:27. > :51:31.distress for local people, unnecessarily. Mr Drakeford insists
:51:31. > :51:35.hospitals must adapt and funding is only part of the reason why. The
:51:35. > :51:39.hospital he visited today, for example, could lose some of its
:51:39. > :51:43.specialist services. The Welsh Government's review of NHS funding
:51:43. > :51:47.is supposed to avoid a repeat of the Stafford Hospital scandal where
:51:47. > :51:53.hundreds of patients died. Whether it will lead to more funding won't

:52:02. > :52:05.serious charge against him. Manning, who has a Welsh mother and
:52:05. > :52:13.spent his teenage years in Pembrokeshire, was found guilty of

:52:59. > :53:04.gutted. I suppose, all I can do now is hope that the IPCK can understand
:53:04. > :53:07.and rethink about what the decisions they have made. I'm hoping that
:53:07. > :53:11.people will show they want to see me. I'm hoping the public can get
:53:11. > :53:19.behind me and people will support my case and hopefully we can overturn
:53:19. > :53:24.the decision to reinstate my event. In the last month Aled has become a

:53:40. > :53:44.have to look up to? Paralympic sport since London has been catapulted so
:53:44. > :53:50.far into the future. I have been into schools chatting to children,
:53:50. > :53:56.the kid who runs on a blade with a missing leg is now a superstar who
:53:56. > :54:00.is really cool. That is the legacy of it. People want to see heroes and
:54:00. > :54:06.superstars. I trained seven years for London. It was everything. I ate
:54:06. > :54:14.and slept and breathed it. To now know that legacy has crumbled in
