UK and Welsh Governments Unite to Address NHS Waiting Lists

Labour announces a new partnership to share best practices and improve healthcare outcomes in England and Wales.

Welsh Secretary Jo Stevens and First Minister Eluned Morgan will reveal the collaboration at the Labour Party conference.
The initiative aims to tackle record-high waiting lists, with 615,300 patients currently waiting in Wales.
UK Labour plans to adopt Welsh strategies for better dental access, targeting 700,000 new appointments in England.
The partnership will explore cross-border mutual aid to enhance NHS capacity and productivity.
Critics argue the plan lacks clarity and call for more radical action to address deep-rooted issues in the Welsh NHS.
