Bringing them down is First Minister Eluned Morgan's top priority.

“You almost go to bed at night, frightened as to whether you're still going to have your sight in the morning," she said.“And whilst for the hospital administrators it might just be a delayed appointment - for us it's a missed injection and a missed injection is potentially deterioration of the sight we have. And that's very frightening."

The very longest waits for eye treatment in hospitals vary across Wales, with the most in Cardiff and Vale and Aneurin Bevan health, but hardly any in Swansea Bay.Meanwhile, latest figures showed more than 80,100 people, whose eyes were most at risk, were waiting beyond the target time for an outpatients appointment, a new record.The proportion whose target is missed is now consistently more than half of all those waiting on the list.

Adam Sampson, chief executive of the Association of Optometrists said: "The waiting lists get longer and longer, we’ve been having patients coming back to their high street optician saying you diagnosed me with this issue, I’m still waiting for an appointment, I’m fearing for my sight."He said there was a shortage of ophthalmologists but there had also been a failure by hospitals and trusts to let go of patients to pass them onto community optometrists who are trained and ready and willing to deal with them.

Performance against four-hour accident and emergency targets has steadied in the last month, although it remains comparatively worse than that in England.

We can also see fewer patients were waiting 12 hours or more in A&E than the previous month. But that still affected nearly 9,500 people.He said people with concerns should be listened to but added: "We want cheaper electricity, we need cheaper power, we can't pretend that can be done without the need for pylons above the ground.

"Politics is about being honest with people, saying: 'If you want xyz then we are going to have to do the following things'."On illegal migration, Sir Keir said there was a backlog of tens of thousands of asylum seekers waiting to have their claim processed, while the government was paying for their accommodation.

He accused the previous Conservative government of "pretending there's some magical way to wish away that number".He said his government would process the backlog and return those who had no right to be in the UK.
