I totally disagree with the proposal to increase the number of members of the Senedd. What an absolute waste of money when this money should be spent on our National Health Service. Ambulances waiting and banking up outside hospitals, not enough wards, beds, nurses, health care assistants, consultants and GPs. Care in the community and primary care are failing for lack of funding and we have aging hospital buildings in need of upgrading. Patients waiting months and years for consultations and treatment, problems getting a timely Gp appointment and patients pulling out their own teeth out because they can't see an NHS Dentist and can't afford to pay private.... and you want to spend millions of pounds of our money to increase talking shop ....unbelievable isn't it. Where are your priorities?

I think this proposal is a total mismanagement of public money and should be investigated as such and stopped...you should be ashamed of yourselves. The health of Welsh people is far more important than spending it on more Senedd members and administrators. Spending millions on the impractical 20mph road signs which was not needed when the money would have been better spent on filling in pot holes and upgrading roads and that's without the other wasted millions on things like buying trees for Africa and the M4 consultation. It's about time Senedd members were called to account for their actions and the detrimental affect they are having on the Welsh people and the Welsh economy.

When will you actually listen to the people of Wales? We pay your wages to act responsibly on our behalf not the other way around.. you've made Wales a laughing stock. I just hope that the Welsh population wake up to your stupid ideas and mismanagement of public money and never vote Labour or Plaid Cymru again. I know I won't and my family and friends are all of the same opinion.
