Motion NDM6177 Paul Davies

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Believes that promoting the innovative use of cross-border healthcare can offer improved patient outcomes for people in Wales and England.

2. Notes the findings of the Silk Commission, which made recommendations to improve cross-border health delivery, particularly to promote closer working in relation to specialist services.

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to reflect on the findings of the Welsh Affairs Select Committee report on cross-border health arrangements between England and Wales, which reflects concerns about the difficulties and delays in accessing secondary and specialist services on a cross-border basis.
