Locum doctors say they are owed 250,000 in unpaid wages at Welsh practices linked to eHarley Street .

One doctor said he was the only GP - for a practice of 11,000 patients.

He called staffing levels at Brynmawr Medical Practice in Blaenau Gwent "dangerous" Dr Mark Wells said the surgery should have the equivalent of five GPs.

BBC Wales said it was "aware of concerns related to a GP partnership" with the company.

The company denies the claims and says it is "putting the joy back into general practice".

Staff are still waiting for October payslips, and waste bill has not been paid, says Plaid Cymru MP.

Problems with supplies like wound packs and speculums have caused patient backlogs.

Local GPs bid for Brynmawr Medical Practice contract, but were rejected by the health board .

eHarley Street says it does not hold any contracts for General Medical Services in Wales .
