Responding to the Welsh Government’s newly released plan to reduce NHS waiting times Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:
“We welcome the clarity the plan announced by the Health Minister today provides to patients and NHS staff about the treatment they can expect after COVID-19 delays.
“However, we have heard many similar promises to the one announced today throughout Labour’s 22 years in power in Wales. Patients and staff need certainty that this plan will be delivered and that decision-makers will be held to account if these targets are not met.
“It also remains a significant concern of ours that Wales could lose 80 out of this year’s 160 GP trainees due to the Conservatives’ archaic immigration policies which could have a significant impact on the plans announced today.”
