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 seventh consecutive month, increasing to over 800,000 for the first time, Sam Rowlands MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:
“As NHS waiting lists continue to soar, Labour has proven itself as the party of broken promises.
“The additional cash that Baroness Morgan is pleading for will be too little too late and is a testament to Labour’s failure to prioritise the Welsh NHS. Crucially, any cash won’t be coupled with the vital reforms or long-term thinking we need to bear down on these excessive waits.
“Only the Welsh Conservatives have a plan to roll out surgical, diagnostic and care hubs to ease the pressure on hospitals and to recruit and retain healthcare workers with a tuition fee refund.”
