Staff levels and a backlog of delayed surgeries now pose the biggest challenges, say NHS workers.
Staff are exhausted from their efforts over the past two years, but there is also pride in how they rose to the challenges they faced."As difficult and as hard as it was, I'm also extremely proud of myself, proud of the team and proud of what we achieved and how we worked together for the sake of the patients."
Olwen Morgan, head of nursing at Glangwili and Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli, said it will take years to catch up. "Being able to facilitate that surgery and those treatments is going to take a significantly robust strategy both within our health board and across the country."
