What good has Welsh Labour done for us?

Re: What good has Welsh Labour done for us?

Labour (42%), Conservatives (20%), Plaid Cymru (15%), Lib Dem (7%) and Reform (12%). It's not exactly a ringing endorsement of the Tories.
re the 20 mph.It's difficult to say the 20 mph has saved a life,because if the accident didn't happen we'll never know.
I saw a squirrel cross the road ,the woman in front was observing the speed limit.Hence the squirrel lived.
What if it was a kid crossing the road. if a driver hit your kid ,and was doing 30 in a 20 limit area you'd soon start shouting you've killed
my kid.

I doubt they do, but it’s better than the alternative. Unless that alternative is independence.

They obviously do has Labour have been in power for 26 years... so people in Wales must like being thick as the education results tell us, they must like having to wait the longest for cancer treatment and ambulances, the the fact that Labour have somehow over spent 900 millions pounds of the annual budget and have now cut every single dept apart from climate change. We dont need any more roads and are happy about congestion charges, tourist taxes and general anti business policies.

Labour policy appears to be keep them thick so they wont question us - and fair play as a tactic that appears to be working

Whilst plenty of mistakes have been made by labour and drakeford should have resigned a long time ago I think it's great that it annoys you that they are in power

Re: What good has Welsh Labour done for us?

Free prescriptions is one of their worst decisions.The result is that many people are now using up GP appointment slots in order to get a prescription for treatment that is readily available over the counter in a pharmacy. This of course is placing unnecessary demand on an already broken system.

Exactly, people go to dr to get a prescription for paracetamol, which costs the NHS stupid money, rather than buy 24 for 50p or whatever it is in Lidl.

Re: What good has Welsh Labour done for us?

Most people in Wales vote Labour - so they obviously want and like what they get from Labour. I had a mate of a similar view talking about Thatcher and the mines - he seemed somewhat shocked when it was pointed out to him that Harold Wilson shut twice has many mines than Thatcher did - he had no words after that revelation.
It was also a shock to him that both Govts stopped the tax payer assistance that was given to the coal board.

And Harold Wilson made the Aberfan fund pay for the clean up of the disaster, horrible c@nt.

Nothing changes anyway….what was so great under Labour when Blair won? Nothing….a year or two of thinking a change is good but if anything the uk has plummeted since the millennium…..nothing will ever change in wales, it’s a poor area a bit like Cornwall/ West Country, heavily reliant on tourism yet doing all it can to pi$$ Tourists off from coming. Get yourself some private healthcare as the nhs here is phucked.

You think the NHS is doing OK in England ?

Not everywhere, but as an example it’s a lot better over the bridge. Got friends who live in north Devon, Bristol and Cornwall and they don’t need to wait months for a hospital app, plus they have the drop in centres, no doubt they can’t do them here because they will be inundated and overrun

i,ve mentioned this above the walk in centres are great . Would take lots of pressure off GP's in Wales and wait times for patients

used them in the west midlands with an urban population of 3 million . if they could work there they could work here

It's not a lot better

In fact today they announced record waiting times in England

This. Got a neighbour who boasts about claiming paracetamol, rather than spending 41p for a pack at Sainsburys. Costs the NHS around a tenner.

Re: What good has Welsh Labour done for us?

parking at welsh hospitals free up to 4 hours

been a godsend for me the last 6 weeks !

on the flip side the english healthcare is much better and the walk in centres over there was a godsend for me when working in england

we should set up walk in centres in Wales . No need for booking appointments

just looking at the parking costs at NHS England for patients /staff for 2022/23 .What a scandal

Would have cost me a small fortune this year if I lived over the border the amount of times i've been up to the heath this year !

Re: What good has Welsh Labour done for us?

I'm amazed that a G.P. would prescribe paracetamol on a routine basis.
