A picture of staff at Swansea's NHS Direct Call Centre, and myself of course! It was again, an interesting visit, and a chance to lean about the nature of the calls that they receive, and the expansion of their services in Wales.
I forgot to mention that I also attended the fundraiser for Pontardawe Festival on Thursday night at St Peter's Church in Pontardawe. Neath Male Voice Choir were superb, as were the excitable St Joseph's School Choir. The Festival has huge deficits due to the bad weather over the last few years, so the organisers are intending to hold numerous fundrasier events in the run up to the anual summer Festival. There is extra pressure of course, because the Festival celebrates 30 years in 2008. I hope to assist in looking for funding, and to encourage mroe Welsh language folk bands to take part.
Today I have also done two interviews with regards the asylum case in Swansea. George William and his family have returned to Penlan, but two of his sons, who came to the UK to study, remain in the deportation centre as there are problems with their visas. They have been studying in Slough, and hope to finish their studies before returning to Pakistan. There will be another effort therefore from Asylum Justice in Swansea to write to the airlines requesting that they do not comply with deporting the older sons.
