Commenting on the worrying testimony of Richard Pugh, head of partnerships for Macmillan Cancer Support in Wales on the state of cancer support in Wales, Russell George MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Health Minister said:
“This is an abysmal assessment of our Labour-run Welsh NHS.
“In Labour-run Wales, national cancer targets are consistently missed with nearly half of patients not receiving treatment within the target time.
“The Welsh Conservatives would spend the full Barnett consequential uplift received for health on our Welsh NHS to fully resource the effort to tackle the longest waiting lists in the UK.”
