So, you know, I think people...

Also, they just wanted to try someone else.

And Plaid was the alternative party of the left.

And certainly they benefited from a big sort of stop reform message during the course of the campaign, too.

Yes, so on that, Plaid was quite reluctant during the course of the election campaign, if we just take the health point first, to sort of give targets in terms of when it wanted to see waiting times reduced.

We do now know that the First Minister has said that he wants to see a return to pre-Covid waiting times by the end of the Senedd in 2029, and he wants to get the two-year waits down a lot faster than that.

Now,

They are going to benefit, at least in the short term, from some of the measures that the outgoing government put in place to drive some of those waiting lists down.

They have been falling, gosh, for quite a few months now.

I want to say eight or nine months, but I'm not entirely sure of that.

But that's sort of...

Time, really.

And you would expect that to continue, you know, in the same way that the Starmer government kind of benefited from falling immigration numbers because of measures that had previously been put in by Rishi Sunak and so on.

So they've kind of got a little bit of a fair wind there.

But I think the difficulty becomes how much a how much money do you really want to chuck at health?

Because health makes up half.

of the Welsh government's budget.

You know, if it keeps putting money into health, it's going to become a glorified health board.

That's right.

So, and, you know, that is forecast to go up, as you know.
