Have your say on the shake up of the NHS in Wales
The Welsh Assembly Government is currently consulting on plans to reconfigure the NHS in Wales. The areas for consultation include:
- Abolishing the Internal Market in Wales
- Three options for establishing a National Health Service Board for Wales
- A reduction from twenty-two (22) to eight (8) Local Health Boards in Wales;
- Transferring the management and provision of Community Services from NHS Trusts to Local Health Boards;
More information can be found on the WAG website at www.wales.gov.uk/consultations which go into far more detail above the proposals.
RCN Wales will be responding to this consultation. Let us have your views! In particular how do you think we can:
Ensure a professional nursing voice at every level?
Ensure investment into community services?
