Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:58 pm on 26 November 2019.
Now, we've heard a lot over the past three years about the allegedly disastrous effect of Brexit on all kinds of public services in Wales, including the NHS, and we know that the Welsh NHS is already struggling to recruit enough staff to keep up with demand. But we now discover that the Labour Party's intention is to introduce a four-day week, which will surely exacerbate the problems of recruitment within the health service in Wales. It's a policy so damaging that Labour's health spokesman in England has already claimed it won't be applied to the NHS. Would the First Minister like to take this opportunity to repudiate this potentially disastrous policy?
