Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:46 pm on 6 December 2022.
It could be something to do with that, I think, Mike. First Minister, today, the chair of the British Medical Association has come out and said that, as a profession, they could very often be criticised for maybe calling wolf on staffing numbers within the health service in Wales, but, actually, on reflection, and the current situation that they find themselves in, the wolf is definitely in the NHS, as there is a massive shortage of staff within our hospitals and our primary care settings. Do you agree with the comments of the chair of the BMA today around the critical and very acute situation that hospitals and the primary care sector are finding when it comes to retaining and attracting staff?
