Part of 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 3:19 pm on 25 April 2018.
I'm happy to respond positively and say that Hywel Dda should respond positively to requests for further public engagement. It is in everyone's interest to have the maximum level of public engagement, not just with the health board at a leadership level but actually with clinicians in their local communities, whether in general practice or whether in hospital-based services or other community-based services, to make sure there is real clinical engagement with each other and with the wider public. I'm more than happy to say that I would want Hywel Dda to maximise all of those opportunities to engage with the public, including at locations and at times of the day that are properly convenient for everyone to engage and have their say.
