UK and Welsh governments team up to tackle NHS waiting list crisis

Jo Stevens, Welsh secretary, announced a ground-breaking partnership to facilitate an exchange of best practice to address key challenges facing NHS England and NHS Wales, at this year’s Labour Party Annual Conference.

Healthcare is devolved in Wales, however the two governments will learn what works best for patients on both sides of the border.

According to the Welsh government, this year’s Labour Party Annual Conference has highlighted how the Labour government is fixing the foundations as a rock-solid platform from which to rebuild Britain, after the Tories ducked difficult decisions and ran public services into the ground.

Jo and Eluned Morgan, Welsh first minister, have outlined how ways of working together will help deliver the Labour government’s mission to build an NHS fit for the future.
