:00:07. > :00:07.Welcome to Wales Today, tonight's headlines.
:00:08. > :00:10.The NHS needs radical change to cope with growing demand
:00:11. > :00:14.That's the warning tonight to whoever wins the election.
:00:15. > :00:16.And a convenience for passengers - or a threat to Cardiff cabbies?
:00:17. > :00:33.The taxi booking app Uber launches in the capital.
:00:34. > :00:38.The NHS in Wales needs to make "radical changes" in order to cope
:00:39. > :00:43.That's according to the new director of the Welsh NHS Confederation -
:00:44. > :00:46.the body which represents all the Health Boards here.
:00:47. > :00:49.Vanessa Young says there needs to be a "shift in focus" and wants
:00:50. > :00:52.the next Welsh Government to set out a "10-year vision" for the Health
:00:53. > :01:02.Here's our Health Correspondent, Owain Clarke.
:01:03. > :01:08.The politicians argue about it. We all depend on it. It's no surprise
:01:09. > :01:15.that the NHS is a top election issue. But whichever way you look at
:01:16. > :01:20.it, a clear picture emerges and that is of a service under intense
:01:21. > :01:26.pressure. And that has not gone unnoticed among those enjoying the
:01:27. > :01:30.sunshine. There are not the phones these days to pay for it sets a
:01:31. > :01:36.question of prioritising. I feel the nurses and doctors are under great
:01:37. > :01:41.strain. Anyway, the NHS as a victim of its own success. Since it it was
:01:42. > :01:45.established, the panties -- advantages in medicine means we are
:01:46. > :01:49.living longer. It also means the NHS has to work harder than ever before.
:01:50. > :01:53.A much more radical changes now needed so it is about spreading that
:01:54. > :01:58.good practice and doing it on a much larger scale. The danger is, if we
:01:59. > :02:02.don't do that, we will not be able to have an NHS that is sustainable
:02:03. > :02:06.and fit for purpose in the future. She also says more resources need to
:02:07. > :02:10.be moved from hospitals to community services and more staff need to be
:02:11. > :02:14.recruited to areas of shortages like a large parts of the North Wales.
:02:15. > :02:19.But crucially she argues the public should be at the heart of the debate
:02:20. > :02:24.about the NHS's future. But that does not always happen and you don't
:02:25. > :02:30.have to rewind the clock to far to find a classic example. Out of the
:02:31. > :02:36.blue Italy last year, this health board announced it would shut the
:02:37. > :02:40.doctor led maternity unit at... It blamed a severe shortage of junior
:02:41. > :02:46.doctors and led to an almighty row. Eventually, the decision was
:02:47. > :02:49.reserved, -- reversed, even though the recruitment crisis hasn't gone
:02:50. > :02:53.away. Bosses say they will listen more in future but to what extent
:02:54. > :02:59.other politicians listening? All the main parties are promising to pump
:03:00. > :03:02.extra millions into the NHS. The government have a rather unfortunate
:03:03. > :03:08.habit of finding a bit more money down the back of the sofa when the
:03:09. > :03:12.going gets tough. It doesn't help the NHS if it means those difficult
:03:13. > :03:14.decisions are avoided. I would appeal to candidates that they don't
:03:15. > :03:20.promise the earth because invariably, they promise to reduce
:03:21. > :03:24.one service in the NHS, given current constraints, means that
:03:25. > :03:27.somebody else loses out. But despite all the difficulties, most people
:03:28. > :03:32.are very happy with the care they get and the truth is, we could all
:03:33. > :03:35.help the NHS out by looking after ourselves better. But according to
:03:36. > :03:39.this leading children's doctor, there is another issue. If
:03:40. > :03:43.politicians become too preoccupied with dealing with the pressures of
:03:44. > :03:47.today, they might not spot the problems of tomorrow. We have the
:03:48. > :03:51.highest proportion of children with diabetes in Wales and we are
:03:52. > :03:58.spending millions on the management of diabetes in adults. If we spent
:03:59. > :04:03.that on prevention of obesity, you would save millions in the long run.
:04:04. > :04:07.Outlining one yet -- what the NHS in Wales might look like in 20 years'
:04:08. > :04:12.time is not easy. The politicians want your vote so they can be in
:04:13. > :04:17.power for the next five years. Addressing the challenges facing the
:04:18. > :04:19.NHS and dashed changing today's picture might take a whole lot
:04:20. > :04:22.longer. And you can find out what all the
:04:23. > :04:25.main parties are pledging on health,
:04:26. > :04:27.along with other key The family of a Welsh soldier -
:04:28. > :04:34.who died more than 20 years ago - say they "reluctantly accept"
:04:35. > :04:36.there's insufficient evidence 18-year-old Private Cheryl James,
:04:37. > :04:42.from Llangollen, was found dead with a bullet wound to her head at
:04:43. > :04:47.the Deepcut Base in Surrey in 1995. A second inquest into her death has
:04:48. > :04:51.now finished hearing evidence. The coroner is expected
:04:52. > :04:56.to give his conclusions next month. Plaid Cymru's former leader,
:04:57. > :04:59.Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas, is in hot water with his party -
:05:00. > :05:04.after he suggested people vote for a Labour candidate
:05:05. > :05:06.in the upcoming Police He says Plaid, Tory
:05:07. > :05:11.and Liberal Democrat supporters should "stop UKIP"
:05:12. > :05:14.by giving one of their TWO votes You can find the full list
:05:15. > :05:19.of candidates on our website. A ?120 million Holiday-Village
:05:20. > :05:22.and Housing-Development on Anglesey The Land and Lakes project
:05:23. > :05:28.near Holyhead could create around 600 jobs -
:05:29. > :05:31.and was agreed after a ?20 million deal was made to mitigate
:05:32. > :05:36.its potential impact on the area. The taxi booking app Uber has
:05:37. > :05:40.launched in Cardiff. The system - which has been
:05:41. > :05:43.successful in 16 other UK cities - allows users to book Private Hire
:05:44. > :05:46.Cars through their smartphones. Some rival taxi-firms
:05:47. > :05:50.are worried they'll be pushed out of the market,
:05:51. > :06:05.while others say they the Uber app has been a runaway
:06:06. > :06:08.success but has sparked anger in some cities.
:06:09. > :06:12.In London, cabbies protested and in Paris, things got even more heated.
:06:13. > :06:17.Today, it's launched in Cardiff but how does it work? If you want a
:06:18. > :06:24.taxi, go to the app, press the button and it tells you there will
:06:25. > :06:27.be a long very shortly. They already operate in 57 countries and 15 other
:06:28. > :06:30.British cities. The company claimed their success is because they are
:06:31. > :06:35.cheaper and more convenient than their rivals. You can see a picture
:06:36. > :06:39.of the driver that is coming to pick you up with their name, the
:06:40. > :06:42.registration and make of that car, so you can be absolutely certain
:06:43. > :06:47.that the car has turned up as the one you booked and is fully licensed

:07:02. > :07:05.along, you can monitor your journey with your smartphone and when you
:07:06. > :07:10.get to your destination, there is no cash to pay. You simply pay your
:07:11. > :07:15.fare with your online bank account. But the competition isn't standing
:07:16. > :07:19.still. Dragon is Wales's largest private hire firm. They've launched
:07:20. > :07:23.their own app and relish the challenge. More and more people are
:07:24. > :07:26.using applications. On that basis, we had to make sure that we were
:07:27. > :07:31.developing with the times. That doesn't mean, of course, that is the
:07:32. > :07:37.end of the telephone or even the walking. Back at Uber, they are
:07:38. > :07:40.confident Cardiff it's going to be a success. If it is, it will expand to
