Responding to the publication of the Welsh Labour Government's Supplementary Budget, Paul Davies AM, Shadow Minister for Finance, said: "These changes to Labour's budget are simply tinkering around the edges and fail to revisit the drastic cuts to the NHS. "Under Labour, the Welsh NHS will face a 6.5% real terms cut over the next three years, stretching waiting times, services and staff to breaking point. "The Kings Fund and Wales Audit Office have made it clear that Wales faces the toughest health settlement in the UK, while frontline NHS staff are voicing genuine fears about the future of local services. "Labour's budget is not fit for purpose and puts at risk what people across Wales value more than anything else: our NHS."
