Eluned Morgan says she will hold them to account over long waiting lists.
A row has broken out between the first minister and NHS bosses after she said she would hold them to account over long waiting lists.
The first minister has talked about focusing on "delivering less" and focusing on the "things that matter to people"."I think it’s important that we put the pressure on those people who are managing the NHS, who are paid significant sums of money," she said. Her comments sparked a robust response from the Welsh NHS Confederation, which represents NHS health boards and their bosses.
All health boards, he said, faced a "huge challenge" in discharging medically fit patients "due to the immense pressures in social care, despite best efforts in joint working with local authority partners"."This is like trying to run the NHS with one hand tied behind your back – we’re doing all we can to work with local authority leaders and care providers but the FM must be open about the scale of the challenge and what’s needed to put it right.
Last August's waiting times figures hit record levels, with those waiting longest - more than a tear and two years -Privately, NHS bosses are disappointed at the tone and language of what the FM said on BBC Wales’s Politics Wales programme.
