JEREMY Corbyn has admitted Labour has a ‘bad record’ on the NHS in Wales as A&E waiting times failed to meet their targets.
The Labour leader was skewered over his party’s record in Wales during a fiery appearance on BBC Breakfast.
Presenter Louise Minchin challenged Mr Corbyn on waiting times, forcing the lifetime socialist to admit things were not good enough.
She said: “Its got a really poor record, youll be aware of that. Failed to meet key targets in A&E for at least a decade.
“A&E waiting times in September were the worst on record.”
The far-left leader admitted it was “bad”, but insisted it wasn’t Labour’s fault.
He said: “Of course the A&E waiting times is a bad record, obviously, anywhere in England, Wales, Scotland, wherever it happens to be.
“The issue is the Welsh government has lost a billion pounds in funding from central government, the UK government.
“The Welsh Government has also put more money proportionately than England recently into the NHS in order to try and improve services.”
The far-left leader then claimed things were bad all over Britain, pointing the finger squarely at the government.
He said: “In 2010 there were less than just about 2 million waiting for operations, there are now four million people waiting across the UK.
“The situation has got markedly worse.
“Satisfaction ratings with the NHS in 2010 were around 90 per cent, now they are very much worse than that.”
Mr Corbyn also appeared to muddle up Labour’s plans for a four-day week, insisting it was not going to be forced on the NHS.
Despite previously ruling it out, the Labour leader changed his tone on whether the NHS could still adapt the policy.
He said: The whole point is over a period increases in productivity will lead to lower working time hours but it’s not going to be forced on the NHS.
His shadow chancellor John McDonnell had previously insisted the scheme would be adopted by the health service.
