Wales's first minister previously turned down the UK Conservative government's offer when she was health minister, branding it a 'cheap political stunt'.
The Welsh and UK governments have announced a new partnership in a bid to cut NHS waiting lists in England and Wales. The announcement was made during the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool on Monday. Wales's first minister Eluned Morgan last year rejected an offer from the Conservative government to treat some NHS patients from Wales in England.
The total number of treatments people were waiting for rose to 796,631 - another new record. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has previously told Sky News NHS waiting lists in England will need to be 'millions lower' by the next general election in 2029. Baroness Morgan was Wales's health minister from 2021 until she succeeded Vaughan Gething as first minister in August, after he quit only four months into the role.
