WELSH nationalists pledged today to establish surgical hubs across Wales to tackle huge waiting lists in the Welsh NHS if they win the 2026 Senedd election.
Plaid Cymru’s health spokesman Mabon ap Gwynfor unveiled his party’s short-term plan to tackle the treatment backlog and bring down NHS waiting lists.
The party said that NHS waiting lists in Wales have hit record highs every month since March 2024, and surpassed 800,000 in October, with around 620,300 people awaiting treatment.
