Wales' new First Minister Eluned Morgan faces criticism from opposition parties over record-long NHS waiting lists, with accusations of her passing the buck to health board executives. During a debate, Plaid Cymru's Mabon ap Gwynfor criticized the Labour government's repeated failures in health service management, while Conservative Sam Rowlands highlighted the impact of budget cuts on NHS performance. Morgan has promised to prioritize reducing waiting times and improving healthcare services, but her lack of specific timeframes and reliance on health boards drew skepticism. A row has erupted between Morgan and NHS leadership over accountability, with the Welsh NHS Confederation arguing that various systemic factors hinder service delivery. Morgan acknowledges the challenges but insists that health board executives must be held accountable for their performance. The debate continues as the Welsh Government prepares for the upcoming Senedd elections in 2026.
