Plaid responds to £82 million health cash injection

It seems we’ve been here before. This £82 million bailout comes after repeated assurances given to us by the Minister that Health Boards would break even.

The Minister also told the committee that three Health Boards may be allowed more at the end of the year through brokerage.

It shows that the government has simply not got a grip on the health service.

It’s becoming clear that there is a lack of financial planning and robust financial management as well, which will inevitable effect frontline services.

– Elin Jones AM, Health Spokesperson
