The work of Healthcare Inspectorate Wales report Members noted their significant disappointment about the
premature disclosure of the findings of the Committee’s report on the work of
Healthcare Inspectorate Wales. Members discussed a ministerial statement that had been
issued that morning relating to new arrangements for dealing with serious
concerns about NHS services and organisations. Members queried the timing of
the statement given its relevant to the Committee’s report on the work of
Healthcare Inspectorate Wales. It was clarified after the meeting that the
statement emanated from work undertaken by the Wales Audit Office and
Healthcare Inspectorate Wales about governance arrangements in Betsi Cadwaladr
University Health Board. |
