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 sixth consecutive month, Sam Rowlands MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:
“Waiting lists are completely out of control on Labour’s watch.
“Baroness Morgan cannot pass the buck for these statistics, because she was Labour’s Health Minister for three years and promised to get them down.
“Instead of prioritising the creation of 36 more politicians, Labour should have been recruiting more doctors and nurses to end the staffing crisis and free up more cash by ending the Welsh NHS’ over-reliance on agency workers.”
