New Welsh Labour leader, Vaughan Gething MS (pictured above), must prioritise a national care service and protect the NHS from privatisation.

UNISON Cymru/Wales regional secretary Jess Turner said: “Congratulations to Vaughan Gething MS on his election as the next leader of Welsh Labour.

“A national care service, protecting the NHS from privatisation and working closely with unions must be among his top priorities.

“Public sector workers are still suffering from the worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation.

“They need more money in their pockets, better working conditions and a Labour leader who will fight for fair funding for Wales.”
