Responding to Mark Drakeford’s progress report for Betsi Cadwaladr UHB, Sam Rowlands MS, Shadow Minister for Health, said:
“While we may have a new First Minister and a new Health Minister, it’s the same old story when it comes to Betsi.
“There’s still no light at the end of the tunnel in terms of a target date for taking the health board out of special measures, and the people of North Wales are still being let down.
“The Welsh Conservatives would deliver the NHS Wales deserves by ensuring it is fully staffed, properly funded and rigorously defended.”
Darren Millar, Shadow Minister for North Wales, said:
‘The people of North Wales will not be taken for fools.
‘No matter how much wool the Welsh Government tries to pull over our eyes about Betsi making progress, our patient experiences, and those of our loved ones, tell us otherwise.
‘Special measures aren’t working and the sooner we get an independent inquiry into the failings in the NHS in North Wales, the better.’
