Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Well-being and Sport – in the Senedd at 2:46 pm on 4 October 2017.
Thank you for urging me to take a reformist mindset. I recognise the points that are raised, because they’re hosted by Velindre and the hosting arrangements are such because I think there would be a challenge trying to set them up as a wholly separate NHS body, but I am interested in not just a debate, but an answer to how we provide greater awareness of what they do and greater governance oversight of what they do, whether that’s within Velindre or not. So, I’m taking a completely open mind about what the Wales Audit Office would have to say, because I do think it’s something that we would need to resolve moving forward to make sure there’s greater awareness and scrutiny, which I think is quite right and proper.
