I'm all in favour of fining/prosecuting drunks wasting A&E's time. I was in a A&E cubicle once with my son who had just been diagnosed with a potentially life threatening illness (fortunately he's fine). There were drunks either side of us carrying on, could have cheerfully killed them.

That's the whole of Wales exempt then.
How do you know any change will impact the poor? Do you know something we don't or are you just coming out with your normal drivel?
