Welsh Conservatives Debate: NHS waiting lists
We're acutely aware, Minister, of the importance of praising the good, but shining a light on the bad. We have to have honest discussions, and that means calling out when the health board is failing. And certain aspects, unfortunately, of service in north…

Yes, I'm grateful to you for taking the intervention. It's a matter of fact that no Conservative Prime Minister has ever cut an NHS budget. The only Government in the United Kingdom that's ever cut an NHS budget is the Welsh Labour Government. It's your…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Local Communities
Of course, that wasn't the only thing that the UK Government did to support people with the cost-of-living situation. They also gave a £150 council tax discount to homes, albeit in England. You got a consequential. You could go 20 per cent further than that…
