Wales is set to receive a significant budget increase for healthcare, with an additional £610 million allocated to the health department to address soaring waiting times. The overall £26 billion budget includes £1.5 billion for public services, marking a shift from previous cuts. Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford emphasized the budget as a chance to rejuvenate public services after years of neglect. Each department is set for boosts, with transport receiving the largest percentage increase. The additional funding primarily stems from recent UK government allocations.
