Commenting following his exchange with Labour’s Cabinet Secretary for Health in the Senedd on the effects of increased employer NI on General Practices, Sam Rowlands MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:
“Labour’s excuses won’t wash; they’ve betrayed GPs as they face immense pressures.
“After 100 Welsh GP closures in just over a decade, the last thing they needed was a jobs tax hike from the Labour UK Government in their budget.
“The Welsh Conservatives want to see better long-term planning from the Labour Welsh Government that invests properly in primary care and for them to join us in our opposition to Rachel Reeves’ employer national insurance rise.”
