Plaid Cymru to set out bold vision for a ‘fairer, more ambitious Wales’

Plaid Cymru 9-04-2026, 20:51 elections, development

Plaid Cymru will today set out a bold and confident vision for Wales’ future as the party prepares to launch its manifesto ahead of the upcoming Senedd election.

Speaking ahead of the launch, Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth said the manifesto was “rooted in fairness” and “driven by ambition” and offered a “clear sense of direction for the future of the country”.

The manifesto will outline the immediate key priorities that will define a Plaid Cymru government:

  • cutting long NHS waiting times
  • supporting families with the cost of childcare and tackling child poverty
  • raising standards in education
  • unlocking the full potential of the Welsh economy
  • and standing up for Wales to secure a fairer deal from Westminster.

The manifesto will also set out a longer-term vision for a stronger, more self-confident Wales - building a more prosperous economy where opportunity is shared across the nation.

This includes using public procurement to invest in the future of local businesses, ensuring Wales profits from its own resources through a new Wales Wealth Fund, investing in housing by upgrading and retrofitting our housing stock and protecting renters to make good homes more affordable.

Plaid Cymru will formally launch its full manifesto today (Thursday 9 April) at 11:00 am.

Speaking ahead of the manifesto launch, Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth said,

“Wales is a nation with enormous, untapped potential. What we have lacked is a government with the ambition and the plan to realise it.

“Our manifesto sets out a new direction for Wales – one rooted in fairness but driven by ambition. It is about building a country where public services work, where families are supported, and where everyone has the chance to build a good life.

“We will take action where it is needed most – cutting NHS waiting times, supporting parents with the cost of childcare, raising standards in our schools, and growing a stronger Welsh economy that works for our communities.

“But this is about more than changing what is broken. It is about the future we can build together – a confident Wales, standing on its own two feet, and ready to succeed.

“This election is a turning point. We can continue with more of the same, or we can choose a new path for our nation.

“Plaid Cymru is ready to lead that change.”

Het Vlaams Belang vraagt dat de Kamer zonder verder uitstel de zogenaamde-25%-regel voor patiënten afschaft. Vandaag krijgen patiënten die zorg ontvangen van een niet-geconventioneerde kinesitherapeut, logopedist, verpleegkundige, vroedvrouw of andere paramedische zorgverlener 25 procent minder terugbetaald. Daardoor wordt niet de zorgverlener, maar de patiënt financieel gestraft.“Dit is een dubbele bestraffing”, stelt Kamerlid Dominiek Sneppe van Vlaams Belang.“Patiënten betalen vaak al meer remgeld of supplementen, en daarbovenop worden ze dan nog eens minder terugbetaald. Terwijl ze vaak niet eens de keuze hebben tussen geconventioneerd of niet”.
