A list of what devolution has given wales so far.

I have noticed recently that many in wales are saying devolution has brought no benifit to wales whatsoever.  This is a result of the way the media reports any negatives regarding devolution but ignore the huge number of positives and people who want devolution to have failed spreading untruths. I have decided to make a list from a simple google search of what devolution has given wales so far.  To say devolution has done anything or has been negative for wales is untrue to say the least. If i have missed anything let me know and i will ad it.  Nine new hospitals and huge investment in new hospital equipment  New Kidney Transplant Unit, PET scanner and Women’s Unit at UHW New Cardiff and Vale Breast Centre.

What has devolution done for Wales part 2

Why on earth isn't the media telling the Welsh people how much they benefit from devolution? Did you know Wales had around 3 new hospitals in 30 years and 4 new schools before devolution? Since devolution Wales had to build 18 new hospitals and 22 new schools because of English neglect. Did you know exports have gone up over 200% since devolution because London wasn't even trying to sell Wales abroad? The fact is that everyone in Wales benefits from devolution one way or another. To lose it would be a massive case of self-harm that's never been seen in the history of the Welsh nation. It wasn't too long ago the media were all over Cardiff airport. They were calling it all sorts and even calling for its closure due to falling passenger figures. However. For every one of the last 33 months passenger numbers has been on the up and it is now the UKS fastest growing airport. anyway. here is what I can find so far. If i have missed anything let me know and i will ad it. Rem
