We published a strategic plan for primary care services in Wales early last year, backed up by significant annual investment of over £40 million. The First Minister also recently made a commitment to look at increasing GP numbers in Wales, in addition to other healthcare professionals who can support GPs.

The health board has made positive progress on a number of fronts under special measures, but I expect to see continued and sustained improvement in key areas before it is removed from special measures.

We are investing £750,000 in the roll-out of the Choose Pharmacy information technology application to 400 pharmacies across Wales by March 2018. This will enable health boards to optimise the contribution of community pharmacies in the delivery of high-quality primary care services in Wales.

While I am encouraged to see a further decline in the number of adults smoking in Wales, it is clear many of us continue to eat and drink too much, and are not exercising enough. I will be making an oral statement on the results in Plenary on 21 June.

The Welsh Government provides support to improve workplace health and well-being through a number of approaches including Healthy Working Wales, NHS occupational health services and the European social fund-funded in-work support service.

My priorities are to deliver and integrate more services locally, improve access and to continue to address service sustainability through our national primary care plan and I expect health boards to develop primary care clusters and to invest in the capacity and capability of the workforce.

Tinnitus therapy advice and counselling services are available in Wales although they do not all use the tinnitus retraining methodology.

We already invest in training opportunities across Wales. I recognise that there are difficulties in recruiting to some training programmes in north Wales. We are working with the Wales Deanery and others to identify steps to address this situation, including more focused planning arrangements and different training models.
