Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport – in the Senedd at 2:23 pm on 4 October 2017.
I note, also, that the Cabinet Secretary has been advertising for non-executive members of the board for this health authority and did quite a lot of work in terms of these reports from Mel Evans and Professor Williams that we had before. I just wonder if he can say what he is doing to ensure that the board will operate truly independently at arm’s length from Welsh Government, and also to ensure that the various professional interests are properly represented within that board. I think at least three of the non-execs must be Welsh speakers. What is he doing to ensure that particular professions are considered properly by that board, for instance nursing, where this Assembly has put such emphasis on the necessity of safer staffing ratios?
