Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:53 pm on 6 November 2018.
Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, for the next financial year, it has been forecast that just over half of the Welsh Government's entire budget will be spent on health. However, when we look at opinion polls, it's clear that the Welsh people don't think that the NHS is working in Wales. In May 2014, after 15 years of the Welsh Assembly, the BBC and ICM Research asked people if having the Assembly had led to an improvement in the NHS, a decline, or had made no difference. Less than one in four people believed that it had led to an improvement. Health is clearly a vital area for your Government and for the people of Wales, but do you think that spending 50 per cent of the whole budget on health is sustainable, and are the Welsh people getting the health service they deserve?
