Welsh Labour’s unmotivated NHS plan

Commenting on the news, Welsh Conservative and Shadow Minister for Health, Russell George MS said:

“Twenty-three years of Labour mismanagement has seen the NHS breaking all the wrong records in Wales. Only last week we saw the worst A&E waits and longest treatment list in NHS Wales history. Much more needs to be done.

“Labour’s mismanagement of our NHS predates the COVID-19 with waiting times doubling in the year before the pandemic.  

“For years, Welsh Conservatives have been calling on the Labour Government in Cardiff Bay to tackle the crisis in our NHS. We need to be assured that this plan is more than a just sticking plaster to cover deep rooted issues.

“We must also be assured that this extra funding will go towards addressing long standing gaps in the NHS workforce as this can’t be just about equipment, it’s about the people.

“This is a matter of life and death for people in Wales. It’s about time Labour ministers started treating it as such.”
