Powys health board drops plan to delay treatments for English patients to save money.

Powys Teaching Health Board in Wales had considered delaying treatments for patients in England to save money, but has since dropped the plan due to public and political pressure. The proposal faced strong criticism and would have caused patients to wait longer for care. The health board, facing a £9.9 million budget shortfall, will meet on January 29 to confirm the decision to scrap the plans.
