National Secular Society's call over NHS faith care funding
Figures obtained by the National Secular Society suggest the NHS in Wales spends £1.3m on providing religious and spiritual care to patients and staff.
The care could range from parents requiring a christening for their seriously ill children, to nurses or doctors seeking someone impartial to talk to.
Members of the society believe this could be funded through a charitable trust and the NHS money could be used to pay for doctors, nurses and life-saving drugs.
