Mr Jones said Ms Clwyd had provided "anonymous" and "unattributable" comments that "can't be investigated". | |
She said last year deaths of patients waiting for heart surgery at University Hospital of Wales were the equivalent of the Stafford Hospital scandal, where patients died needlessly. | |
During First Ministers Questions on Tuesday, Mr Jones said Ms Clwyd had been asked "on more than one occasion" to produce the evidence to back up her claims. | |
When asked by the leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies about Ms Clwyd's criticism of the length of waiting times in the Welsh NHS, Mr Jones said: "I'm afraid Ann has based her allegations on the way her husband was treated. | |
"She has refused permission for the report surrounding her husband's treatment to be made public. | |
"I think it's important for people to make a judgement on what happened when that report is made public but that is ultimately a matter of course for others." |
