Consultants and SAS doctors vote for strike in Labour-run Wales
Commenting on consultants and specialist, associate specialist and speciality (SAS) doctors in Wales voting for two days of strike action in April, Russell George MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:
“Yet more strikes, this time from senior doctors in Labour-run Wales, will place further pressure on the longest waiting lists in the UK.
“While Conservatives in England put forward substantially higher pay offers for speciality and junior doctors, Labour has consistently put the worst offer in the UK on the table.
“The Welsh Conservatives would spend the full Barnett uplift received for health on health and would at least match the independent recommendation, which Labour has failed to meet, instead of following Labour and Plaid’s plans to create 36 more politicians.”
FMQs: First Minister shows arrogance and contempt over Covid WhatsApp Use
Commenting following his exchange with the First Minister today at First Minister’s Questions, Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives said:
“The First Minister has shown his arrogance and contempt for Welsh democracy today in his non-answers to my questions.
“People who lost loved ones during the pandemic have been denied answers at a Wales-specific Covid Inquiry and now Mark Drakeford has denied them answers on the floor of the Senedd.
“The Welsh Conservatives will continue to fight for an independent Wales-specific Covid Inquiry to give the people of Wales the answers they deserve.”
