The latest statistics, released on Thursday, showed the longest hospital waiting lists were continuing to rise.

There were 24,361 patient pathways at the end of November, an increase for a second month in a row after the Welsh government set health boards a target to cut that figure to 8,000 by March.

The overall waiting list rose to 802,268 – setting a record for a 10th month in a row.

The numbers waiting in A&E for 12 hours or more hit more than 10,800 – the second highest on record.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Any Questions? programme, broadcast from Porthcawl in Bridgend county, Morgan said: “The system is one where we, as a government, set out the parameters, we then tell the health boards what they’re to do”.

She said there needs to be “better management by the health boards”, adding an “accountability system” ensures that “with the extra money that’s gone in, they [health boards] won’t get the money unless we get the outcome”.

She said more cash from the UK government meant there was extra investment for the NHS and she wanted to “assure” people that waiting times would come down.
