Commenting on the latest NHS statistics for Wales revealing an increase in the number waiting for treatment to the highest level on record, Sam Rowlands MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:
“These atrocious statistics stand as a stark warning as to what a Labour Government looks like and why Labour cannot be trusted to run the health service.
“Unlike in England where progress is being made to cut waiting lists, the Labour Welsh Government are taking us back to square one with the longest NHS waits on record.
“The Welsh Conservatives want to see our Welsh NHS fully resourced every penny received for health from the UK Conservative Government, but instead Labour has chosen to squander these funds on 20mph speed limits and 36 more Senedd politicians.”
