Commenting on the Labour Welsh Government’s announcement that emergency departments and minor injury units will receive a small funding pot to ‘boost capacity’, Russell George MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Health, said:
“The Labour Welsh Government is playing catchup thanks to their historic underfunding of our Welsh NHS.
“Emergency departments needed this increased capacity ahead of the winter months, but the sum allocated is hardly going to scratch the surface.
“Labour should have prioritised these infection prevention and enhanced safety measures over their expensive plans for blanket 20mph and more politicians.”
