Plaid Cymru has accused Welsh Labour of following "the Tory playbook" and blaming patients of their standards of health.
The comments were made by Plaid's Westminster leader Liz Saville-Roberts who was reference comments by the Welsh Government health minister Eluned Morgan who suggested that people in Wales should eat healthier, stop smoking and exercise when challenged about the on going NHS crisis.
Ms Morgan said: "We have very high levels of ill health in Wales and people can help themselves, do more exercise, stop smoking, eat healthier. If we're not going to see changes in behaviour from the public as well then we will have to have a situation where we're perhaps offering fewer services."
