Health officials in England should be called on to help turn around the NHS in Wales, former Welsh Secretary David Jones has said.
He said there were question marks over Welsh Labour's running of health.
"Despite repeated assurances that they are working hard to improve things, things never do improve. They just get worse," he has claimed.
The Clwyd West MP gave the suspension of maternity services at Glan Clwyd Hospital as an example.
Mr Jones said it could prove the moment that Welsh people decide that "enough is enough".
He added: "Maybe, too, it will be the catalyst that causes the Welsh Government finally to admit the severity of their problems with healthcare in Wales and to turn to the Department of Health in Westminster for help in turning things round.
"Please let them do that, as soon as possible."
His comments follow the announcement by the Welsh health minister, Mark Drakeford, that a deal has been done in principle with the Liberal Democrats to establish a commission examining the future of the NHS in Wales.
