Welsh Conservatives Debate - hospital services and hospital closures
The Welsh Conservatives, led by Paul Davies, asked the Welsh Government to rule out hospital closures and downgrades of services during this Senedd term. Plaid Cymru's replacement wording was rejected. The Senedd added a Labour patient safety amendment and a Reform UK amendment on the maintenance backlog, then agreed the motion as amended.
