Parliamentary review issues imterim report

A review into health and social care in Wales has called for a bold vision for the health and care system and says that change in the sector is essential.

The Parliamentary Review interim report on health and social care in Wales has described the case for change as “compelling” and calls for new models of care to be trialled across Wales.

The report recognises that new models will need to be underpinned by action in a number of areas and makes further recommendations.

Health secretary Vaughan Gething said: “This is an insightful interim report. The panel rightly recognises the tremendous commitment of the health and care workforce and its significant achievements.

“The case for change in how health and care services should be organised in future could not be clearer.”
