The NHS was born in Wales.
Nearly 80 years since its founding, the challenges facing our most treasured public service have drastically changed.
That’s why Plaid Cymru has a radical plan that will see our NHS renewed and rebuilt after years of mismanagement.
Thousands of people access NHS services in Wales every day, and our dedicated doctors, nurses and other health professionals deliver an exemplary standard of care.
We owe it to patients and our healthcare workforce alike to make sure our NHS is in the best possible position to deliver timely and quality care to all those that need it.
We will invest in keeping people healthier for longer – reducing the need to treat illness by giving people more of the support they need to improve their health and well-being.
Offering new, determined and transformative leadership for our NHS, a Plaid Cymru government will get to grips with the most immediate pressures on our health and care services, whilst also creating the space we need to deliver a better balance between preventing and treating ill-health.
We will tackle long waiting lists and begin to shift both focus and resources towards promoting better public health, ensuring better access to the day-to-day health services provided by dentists and GPs, and realising our ambition for the full integration of health and social care services.
