In Swansea Bay, a series of administrative errors by the local health board has led to patients being unfairly removed from surgery waiting lists, resulting in some individuals waiting more than five years for operations such as knee and hip surgery. The mistakes were significant enough to prompt an investigation by an ombudsman, who confirmed the severity of the situation. A Swansea GP surgery also blacklisted seven 'aggressive' patients in one month and warned six others.
