Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:38 pm on 10 January 2017.
Diolch, Lywydd. First Minister, as we start the new year, the familiar waiting time problems in accident and emergency, and with ambulances, show no sign of dissipating. But, there’s an urgent question on that, so I want to ask you about a crisis in waiting times that doesn’t often get the attention that it deserves. At the start of last term, I asked you about waiting times for children and adolescent mental health services. You said at that time,
‘The resources have been put in and I fully expect the waiting times and the numbers to go down as those resources work through the system.’
First Minister, how is that going? Have the waiting times gone down?
