A GP surgery sent people with “significant life-limiting illnesses” a letter saying they would like them to complete a do not attempt CPR form.
Llynfi Surgery, in Maesteg, sent the document to patients with serious health conditions such as incurable cancer, motor neurone disease and untreatable heart and lung conditions on March 27.
It said that people with these conditions are "unlikely to be offered hospital admission" if they become unwell with coronavirus and "certainly will not be offered a ventilator bed".
The letter was sent to WalesOnline by a patient who wished to remain anonymous. They said: "It not only greatly upset me but my family and close friends. "It was like having my death warrant being sent by the grim reaper.
