A Better NHS that delivers for you
Shorter waiting times for treatment - patients in Wales shouldn't have to wait longer.
Wales' NHS has been expensively reorganised by the Labour-Plaid government. But they have failed to tackle the waste of resources. Although we spend more per head on the NHS than England, we put up with worse results - longer waiting times, slower ambulance response times, lower standards of cancer treatment.
The Welsh Liberal Democrats will always be guided by the founding principles of the NHS - providing free care, when you need it, regardless of your ability to pay. Building on those principles, we will tackle the inefficiencies of the present organisation to achieve higher standards of care.
We will reform the way health care is delivered by focusing on prevention and local service delivery. We will strengthen the link with social care and, if you need social or nursing care, we will allow you to decide what best suits your needs.
Welsh Liberal Democrats will:
- Cut your waiting times by cutting waste. We will improve healthcare by switching ineffective spending in the NHS to the frontline.
- Improve care and support for the elderly and vulnerable by ensuring you can choose the care you want, when you want it.
