Part of 3. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport – in the Senedd at 3:06 pm on 25 January 2017.
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Wales spends significantly more on health per head than they do across the border in England. However, this has not led to significantly better outcomes. Welsh patients are generally waiting longer for treatment than English patients—twice as long for a cataract operation and nearly three times as long for a hip operation. Can you explain why, Cabinet Secretary, we are not as efficient when it comes to health spending?
