The Welsh government has committed to eliminating the two-year wait times for NHS patients within a few months, according to First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth. This announcement follows a report indicating that the number of patients waiting over two years has decreased to just under 2,600, marking a decline for ten consecutive months. However, the timeline for achieving this goal remains unclear, leading to tension during a recent session of the Senedd. Opposition leader Dan Thomas criticized the First Minister for presenting conflicting statements regarding the timeline for reducing waits, noting that in England, such waits have been largely eradicated. Iorwerth emphasized the urgency of addressing the longest waits, while Health Minister Mabon ap Gwynfor reiterated the government's commitment to tackle the issue in the coming months. The Welsh government has faced scrutiny for its focus on international relations, with calls from opposition leaders to prioritize NHS funding over foreign initiatives.
