Responding to the Labour Welsh Government statement announcing a review of national ambulance targets, Sam Rowlands MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:
“We need bold action from the Labour Welsh Government to reduce ambulance waits, not just a review of the targets.
“Barely half of the most serious ambulance calls receive a response within the target time. We need clear and transparent targets to improve accountability.
“The Welsh Conservatives want to see a long-term plan, involving social care, to address capacity issues within the Welsh NHS to improve the flow of patients into and out of hospitals that applies pragmatic, cross-sector thinking and makes use of cross-border availability.”
