The emergency departments at a number of Welsh hospitals are under "extreme pressure" as they warn that patients can expect to wait a "considerable time" if it is not an emergency. The warning has been issued by Cwm Taf Morgannwg UHB that covers the Rhondda Cynon Taf, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil areas.

The health board has issued a statement that said: "The most seriously injured and ill patients are prioritised. This means that, even if you are there before someone else, if you have a less serious condition, you will face an extended wait."

The hospitals in affected include the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant, Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil and the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend. The health board is urging people to consider alternative treatment options before the emergency department.
