QNR – in the Senedd on 14 December 2022.
The 'All-Wales Standards for Accessible Communication and Information for People with Sensory Loss' sets out the standards of service delivery that people with sensory loss should expect when accessing healthcare. These standards apply to all adults, young people and children.
The NHS in Wales has an obligation in law to make its services accessible to the people we serve, taking account of a number of factors including disability. Welsh Government officials continue to work with all health organisations across Wales to ensure that these obligations are met.
Welsh Government are working with NHS employers and trade unions to ensure that staff are supported. This will be provided through a range of initiatives, including promoting and protecting staff health and well-being through providing fundamental principles of physically and psychologically safe working environments, along with effective workforce planning and management.
