QNR – in the Senedd on 18 October 2022.
Our £1.5m investment in expanded parental advocacy services is just one example of our partnership working to support families where relationships have broken down.
In April 2022, supported by £180m recurrent funding, the Health Minister published the NHS Planned Care Recovery Plan. This clearly sets out the expected actions the health boards need to take to reduce the backlog of patients waiting for treatment whilst also transforming services for the future.
The levers to tackle cost increases on businesses, interest rates for borrowing, taxation of windfall profits and regulation of the energy market, lie squarely with UK Government. Our priority is to support businesses in those actions which create successful futures.
For this year we have set two clear and challenging ambitions for reducing the number of patients waiting for NHS Treatment. We are working with the NHS to review and challenge the delivery plans from health boards to ensure all options for delivery against targets are being identified.
