Something really strange is going on.
The Welsh Government have said they won't be publishing the waiting list figure for Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board "pending the outcome of an external investigation into the quality and governance of its data".
The data is already a week overdue.

Yesterday I challenged the Government on its failure to support rural and off-grid households trapped in fuel poverty
🟢25% of Welsh households - in fuel poverty
🟢A Senedd committee warned it could take until 2160 to retrofit all fuel-poor homes – this is utterly unacceptable

The morning after Lindsay Whittle's stunning victory for Plaid Cymru in the Caerffili Senedd by-election Welsh Labour’s First Minister Eluned Morgan called Kier Starmer asking for help for Wales. In today’s budget having a Labour government at each end of the M4 showed its benefits. Wales got F-All.

It’s a disgrace 1 in 4 people in Wales are in fuel poverty. Everyone should have the right to be warm and healthy in their homes.
Mae'n gywilyddus bod 1 o bob 4 o bobl yng Nghymru mewn tlodi tanwydd. Dylai pawb gael yr hawl i fod yn dwym ac i aros yn iach yn eu cartrefi.

Evening
The archer with time
as his arrow – has he broken
his strings that the rainbow
is so quiet over our village?
Let us stand, then, in the interval
of our wounding, till the silence
turn golden and love is
a moment eternally overflowing.
