Thank you for your statement, Cabinet Secretary, and for the honest, open and transparent way you have approached this review with the opposition Members. The health and social care sectors will face immense challenges in future as our population grows and ages, and it is right that we review how we can best deliver those services in the coming decades. I welcome the opportunity you gave to us to help influence the terms of reference and the make-up of the panel, and I look forward to reviewing the panel’s terms when they are published later. One of our biggest concerns for this review was ensuring that the panel was truly independent and expert-led. I’m pleased to see the panel will include individuals from the Nuffield Trust and the Health Foundation and a Fellow of the Royal College of Nursing.

I am also grateful that the panel will include a business representative. It is important that we get input from the private sector, and I look forward to learning who will fill this position. I’m also pleased that we are to receive the benefit of having an international perspective from Professor Don Berwick. I would also like to welcome the appointment of Dr Hussey as chair of the review. Dr Hussey has experience of the NHS in both Wales and England, and her insight on this panel will be invaluable.

I have one question, Cabinet Secretary, and that is: when will you be in a position to share with us the make-up of the wider stakeholder reference group?

Thank you once again for your statement. I look forward to working with you and the review panel so that we can deliver a health and social care system that is responsive to the needs of Wales’s population and resilient to future health challenges. Diolch yn fawr.
