Following the latest NHS waiting list data in Wales, Plaid Cymru spokesperson on Health Mabon ap Gwynfor said:

“Despite seeing a small decrease today, Labour have presided over years on years of lengthening waiting lists, meaning more and more people are waiting, and waiting longer to be seen by our NHS.

“Take children and young people under 18 year for example. 10 years ago, not a single young person or child was waiting over a year for an appointment, now we have over a thousand waiting over two years.

“After years of throwing money at ever-lengthening waiting lists, it’s clear that Labour have no plan, and no hope of getting to grips with waiting lists. Our NHS needs a fresh start.”
