Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:37 pm on 29 January 2019.
First Minister, I'm sure you'll want to commend the work of the Auditor General for Wales, who has pointed out that 82 per cent of this spend is to cover for vacancies. And he also says there's a real issue of skills shortages and poor data, especially the lack of consistent and comparable data, which is impeding the leadership that we need from the health boards. What are you going to do with his observations there, and how soon might we see better performance in this important area?
