Responding to the latest eye care waiting times for Welsh NHS outpatients, Russell George MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:
“It is an outrage that fewer than half of eye care patients are still not being seen within the target time in Labour-run Wales.
“If an eye care patient isn’t seen within the target time, clinical experts are clear that those patients are at risk of irreversible harm.
“Welsh Conservatives want to see a substantial workforce plan enacted, with a tuition fee refund at its heart, to hire more doctors and opticians as opposed to Labour’s plans to create more politicians.”
