Responding to news that consultants, SAS doctors and junior doctors have agreed to settle the pay dispute and end strikes, Sam Rowlands MS, Shadow Minister for Health, said:
“The Welsh Labour Government has acted shamefully throughout this episode.
“By only releasing the funds for a pay deal when it was politically advantageous to do so, Labour have caused the strikes which led to missed operations, extra pressure on our NHS and undue stress on Wales’ consultants, SAS doctors and junior doctors.
“The Welsh Conservatives will never play politics with the Welsh NHS.”
