No mention of cost or timeframes but in general they sound like tidy changes that focus on pipeline inefficiencies.
It would be nice though if Plaid (or any other party) were bringing these ideas to the Senedd now and try to get them implemented instead of making it an election promise.

  1. “No mention of cost”

    A bit like their plans for an independent Wales then?

    Where’s that magic money tree gone bois? Something something water something.

  2. This sounds like it was written by a PPE student 2 years out of uni. A major issue in the Welsh NHS is poor staffing levels—Wales simply cannot recruit enough consultants, doctors, and other essential staff. This raises a critical question for me: **Who are the “executive triage” staff, responsible for handling referrals or care?**

    1. **Will these staff be qualified doctors? Or a PA with a 2 year qualification? Or just admin staff?**
    2. **If not, how will Plaid ensure patient safety?**

    Given the complexity of medical referrals, there’s a risk that non-doctor staff might err on the side of caution, leading to unnecessary referrals or miss patients who actually to be referred. This could, in turn, be both dangerous for patients and place even more pressure on an already overstretched Welsh NHS.

    The lack of detail in this is kind of astounding actually.

  3. Unpopular opinion, if you’re earning a six figure salary working full time for the NHS, you should not be allowed to fill your spare time using NHS facilities for private practice.

  4. Sounds all very strategic and pie in the sky.

    The whole family works in the NHS and they’ll all say that it is a shit show so whereas I agree with everything they are saying, it’s pretty hard not to agree with what they’re saying.

  5. >Plaid Cymru plans to address this by creating a special team

    Plaid Cymru SAS or something.

    Jesus Christ

    I’ve read A-Level pieces better than this.

  6. The scary thing is not a SINGLE Political Party in the UK has a good plan to fix the NHS..

    Heaven forbid we lost it and go private

  7. NHS is done. We all know it, we just don’t like to think about it
