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."

During Prime Minister's Questions, Ms Saville-Roberts, who was elected as the MP for Dwyfor Meirionnydd in 2015, started her point by paying tribute to the "national inspiration" Gareth Bale who has just retired.
She then said: "This Tory Government attacks dedicated health and ambulance staff but disruption from strikes is as nothing compared with the chronic disruption caused every day from their 13 year butchering of of health budgets. Meanwhile Labour's health secretary in Wales follows the Tory playbook blaming patients themselves for the standards of their health.
"But the reality is this, health services in Wales suffer from a combination of mismanagement by Labour and a Westminster funding system that perpetuates poverty."
However she was then cut off by the speaker who chastised her for taking too long. She then tried to finish her point by adding: “The PM used to talk about ‘levelling up’. Will he therefore commit to funding Wales’s public services using a needs-based formula?”
However the speaker of the house cut her off against saying: "You can't go on forever Liz."
Mr Sunak responded by saying that as a "Southampton fan" Gareth Bale was "also a hero of mine". He then added: "As a result from Barnett that the Welsh Government receives significantly more funding than the NHS in England. This isn't about political point scoring, pressure because of the global pandemic."
