Commenting on the latest NHS statistics for Wales revealing an increase in the number waiting for treatment to the highest level on record for the fifth consecutive month, Sam Rowlands MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:
“These woeful statistics show the NHS is in crisis as waits have increased to new records for five months in a row.
“The Labour Welsh Government have failed yet again to bear down on these excessive lists, which begs the question: Since Eluned Morgan was Labour’s health minister, how can she be trusted to turn this situation around as First Minister?
“The Welsh Conservatives believe it is past due for Labour to spend every penny they receive for health on the Welsh NHS, as opposed to prioritising the creation of 36 more politicians.”
