Thirty-three organisations across Wales have written a joint letter to First Minister Mark Drakeford calling on the Welsh Government to publish its "long-awaited" workforce plan for the NHS and social care. As the country braces itself for what is likely to be the most difficult winter in the history of the health service, the organisations claim they are "flying blind" due to a lack of reliable and up-to-date workforce data and no implementation plan for the recruitment and retention of NHS and social care staff. They claim the impact of staff shortages on patient care "cannot be underestimated" as waiting times reach record levels in Wales. Cancer lists and ambulance performance times are currently the worst on record and overall waiting list numbers passed 750,000 for the first time in October 2022.

The mystery of what killed kung fu legend Bruce Lee could finally be solved.
Experts say that the star who made famous the phrase "Be water, my friend," may have died from drinking too much water! Scientists, who recently looked at Lee's autopsy results have stated,
"We now propose, based on an analysis of publicly available information, that the cause of death was cerebral oedema due to hyponatraemia. In other words, we propose that the kidney’s inability to excrete excess water killed Bruce Lee."
[...] Speaking to WalesOnline ahead of the three-part series’ release, Callum said he was “incredibly proud” to be a part of telling the story of The Way. [...]
Callum added: “I think the role of the Driscoll family is to kind of mirror a real family because often the idea of the family in crisis is not a new one, but the heart of the show is this family and everything that happens around them. Making that as real and honest as possible was something that we all kind of set out to do.
“Michael was really passionate about doing that because the show lives and dies by the Driscoll family. One of the first things we did when we met was a series of improvisations about what it would have been like when Owen and Thea (Sophie Melville) were in school together, coming home from school, the dynamic between Owen and his mother – all these different scenes where things were fine. When we're going into those scenes when they’re not okay, it's a bit more complex and there's conflict there and a historical trauma to explore.”
The Way features a cast that is packed full of big Welsh names, including Steffan Rhodri (Steeltown Murders, Gavin and Stacey), Mali Harries (Keeping Faith, Hinterland), Sophie Melville (The Pact, Iphigenia In Splott) and Michael Sheen himself. Maja Laskowska (Trigonometry, Baptiste) plays a young woman caught up in the family’s escape. Luke Evans (Nine Perfect Strangers, The Pembrokeshire Murders) stars as Hogwood, a mercenary in pursuit of the Driscolls, with Tom Cullen (The Gold, Weekend), Danny Sapani (Killing Eve, The Diplomat), Mark Lewis Jones (Outlander, The Crown), Paul Rhys (Discovery of Witches, Chaplin), Erin Richards (The Crown, Gotham), Aneurin Barnard (The Catch, 1899), Catherine Ayers (The Light in the Hall, Keeping Faith), Patrick Baladi (Breeders, Line of Duty), Georgia Tennant (Staged, Doctor Who), Jonathan Nefydd (Pobol y Cwm, Grav), and Matthew Aubrey (Keeping Faith, World on Fire) all playing key roles across the three-parter. [...]
or Callum, the chance to work with Michael Sheen – who is shifting from in front of to behind the camera for The Way – was a dream come true. He said: “I've grown up watching Michael and have been inspired by him for so many years. He's in some of my favourite pieces of TV and film so growing up watching him and then being directed by him, and even just meeting him for my audition was just something that was so cool. He's a monolith of Welsh acting, film, television, theatre – all of it.
“He kind of represents the best of us, and getting to work with him was something that I felt very lucky to be doing. To be directed by him and to get to see him work every day on a piece like this that is so full of power and passion and fight and anger and everything else was something that I just loved every minute of it.” [...]
