OPPOSITION parties continued their onslaught on the Welsh government’s record on the NHS in Wales today, claiming that patients in Powys would be forced to wait longer for care because of financial problems.

Welsh Conservative Senedd Member James Evans has called on the Welsh Government to cover Powys Teaching Health Board’s funding shortfall of £9.9 million to prevent deliberate extensions to waiting times for patients in mid Wales.

The issue was also raised in the Senedd during the week as opposition parties claim the Welsh Labour government is failing in its NHS management.
