The figures I quoted were of the money going into the private sector, which I admit is growing slowly, but it’s exactly this ‘death by a thousand cuts’ that threatens the future of the NHS. [Interruption.] From a sedentary position, the Conservative health spokesman asks if I’m going to talk about Wales. This is the context in which the future of the Welsh NHS will try to survive. In the meantime, the job of each successive Welsh Government to maintain and improve a public NHS will get harder in this context. That’s why it’s important that we defend Wales and have a strong Plaid Cymru voice in Westminster.
