Commenting on the latest NHS statistics for Wales revealing an increase in the number waiting for treatment to the highest level on record for the eighth consecutive month, Sam Rowlands MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:
“I fear that we are at crisis point as waiting list figures continue to head in the wrong direction in Labour-run Wales.
“The Labour Health Minister’s latest initiatives, even if his expectations are met, will barely scratch the surface in terms of tackling these excessive, record-breaking waits for treatment. Something needs to change, fast.
“The Welsh Conservatives will stand up for the Welsh people’s priorities by eliminating restrictive guidance blocking cross-border and cross-sector working and by enacting a substantial workforce plan to boost staffing numbers, with a tuition fee refund for healthcare workers at its heart.”
