New A&E expectations ring hollow

New A&E expectations ring hollow

Responding to new expectations on health boards to ensure patients in A&E are seen by “clinical decision-makers” within an hour of arrival and a “zero tolerance” for people sending more than 12 hours in a department, Russell George MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:

“These expectations from the Labour Government ring hollow without the funding to meet them.

“Years of Labour and Plaid diverting money away from our health service to their vanity projects have led to the long waits Welsh patients are having to endure.

“The Welsh Conservatives want to see the full Barnett uplift for health spent on our Welsh NHS to fully resource it and our workforce boosting plan enacted to improve waiting times for patients.”
