There has been a huge reorganisation of the NHS in Wales, that I wouldn't necessarily say has been botched entirely but has been a hugely difficult process of change.  Most of this landed on the head of Jane Hutt who had a terrible time with it all much earlier on in the implementation of the NHS Agenda for Change which was across Wales and England, bringing pay scales and grading in line across the NHS.  

In 2001 the NHS plan for Wales was launched and then in the second term of the Assembly, the pivotal strategy Making the Connections set out how Wales would develop citizen centred Welsh Public Services, promoting joint working, public engagement and value for money.

The NHS infrastructure in Wales has become increasingly different to that in England and the Health portfolio is now held by Edwina Hart, one of the three leadership candidates.  She's not had such as rough time of it as Jane Hutt did.  

The reforms are beginning to bed in but resources and overall poor health of the country (we have some extremely deprived areas) are significant issues - hence waiting times are still high, issues around bed blocking exist, and there is still the need to join up health and social services more effectively and improve access to GP services.
