A general view of staff on a NHS hospital ward
OPPOSITION leaders used today’s opening First Minister’s Questions of 2025 to declare efforts to improve ailing NHS performances were failing Wales.
Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth said the targets announced by First Minister Eluned Morgan when she was cabinet secretary for health have all been missed.
“A quarter of patients are currently waiting over eight hours in A&E, hospital waiting lists have topped 800,000, ambulance services are in crisis, and GP surgeries are closing,” Mr ap Iorwerth said.
We need a massive change in direction to renew a crumbling health service — that’s why Plaid Cymru has an ambitious plan to recentre primary care by recruiting 500 additional GPs and opening six new elective care hubs across Wales, writes MABON AP GWYNFOR
