The six goals for urgent and emergency care programme set clear expectations for delivery of more sustainable, safer and effective urgent and emergency care.  Betsi Cadwaladr UHB will receive an additional £3m annually to deliver its local six goals programme, to help improve the outcomes and experience of patients who access emergency care, including in Emergency Departments.

I expect local health boards, as joint commissioners of ambulance services, to work with the Welsh Ambulance Services Trust to understand local challenges and agree collaborative actions to ensure patients within their communities receive a safe and timely response, through a whole system approach, ensuring ambulance crews are available to respond when needed.
