money is a part of it as well as modernisation. the next uk labour government will mean we will get more money to invest in our health service. ~ ., ,' v service. will it, though? it is 1.196 more on george _ service. will it, though? it is 1.196 more on george osborne - service. will it, though? it is 1.196 more on george osborne during i service. will it, though? it is 1.196 i more on george osborne during the austerity years was given 1.4%, so you are actually going to be giving less to the health budget in wales than during the austerity years. that is not true. in than during the austerity years. that is not true.— that is not true. in wales this ear... that is not true. in wales this year- -- that _ that is not true. in wales this year... that is _ that is not true. in wales this year... that is true. - that is not true. in wales this year... that is true. we - that is not true. in wales this year... that is true. we had l that is not true. in wales this year... that is true. we had a buduet year... that is true. we had a budget that — year... that is true. we had a budget that put _ year... that is true. we had a budget that put 496 _ year... that is true. we had a budget that put 496 in - year... that is true. we had a budget that put 496 in an - year... that is true. we had a - budget that put 496 in an increase in budget that put 4% in an increase in our nhs even in difficult times. our budget in real terms is 7 million less than three years ago. actually, having a proper crackdown on non—dons will give us more money to put in and that is a down payment on what we need in the future. rates have gone up by 17% in the last few years and there is much more to go and it takes resources and people. in england 275 people are waiting more than two years. that number in
