Devolution under question

Parts of the health service in Wales, including waiting lists, have got worse since devolution, a report has claimed. The report, by the University of Nottingham, looked at the effect of devolution on public services in Wales and Scotland. It concluded that waiting lists had grown since the Welsh Assembly took over responsibility five years ago. The report has been published by the BBC but actually does not tell us anything new. Yes, the Welsh health service is in a mess, but our education system is better. This is a judgement on the performance of the Welsh Government not on devolution.

Oh dear ... since the report also states that the Assembly is run by a coalition government is this a unique example of a Lib Dem mea culpa !!!

No, just honesty. Labour should try it sometime.
