James Evans MS has called on the new Plaid Cymru Welsh Government to deliver on the promises it made to people in his constituency as First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth is set to chair the first meeting of his newly appointed Cabinet this week.

The new First Minister is expected to make a statement to the Senedd tomorrow setting out his Government’s priorities. The Reform MS says that must include action on the issues Plaid Cymru promised to address during the election, including stopping the industrialisation of rural Wales with pylons and turbines, improving cross-border healthcare, tackling TB in the wildlife population, and delivering a new Rapid Diagnostic Centre for Powys.

Mr Evans warned that local priorities must not be pushed aside if any public money is spent pursuing Welsh independence.

James Evans MS, Member of the Senedd for Brycheiniog Tawe Nedd, said: “I hope the promises Plaid made to people in my constituency are on the agenda at the new First Minister’s first Cabinet meeting.

“During the election, they promised action on stopping the industrialisation of rural Wales with pylons and turbines, addressing cross-border healthcare, tackling TB in the wildlife population, and delivering a new Rapid Diagnostic Centre for Powys.

“I will work with anyone, from any party, to deliver real benefits for the communities I represent. But I fear we will see millions wasted looking at independence while the real priorities of our community are pushed aside.”
