Health Finances 2013-14

Health Finances 2013-14

The Auditor General for Wales published his report NHS Wales: Overview of Financial and Service Performance 2013-14 in October 2014.  This report provides a detailed assessment of the financial position across NHS Wales in 2013-14. It also looks at performance in the delivery of services, focusing on those areas that the Department has identified as a priority. The report also considers the future financial and service challenges for NHS Wales.

 

The Public Accounts Committee undertook a short inquiry based on issues raised in the Report and considered why three NHS organisations failed to break even in 2013-14 and that waiting times and other key performance targets are not being met.

 

The Committee’s findings were included in its report on Health Board Governance and Finance which was published on 29 February 2016.

 

The Committee noted that the Auditor General for Wales intends to undertake a review of the impact of the NHS Finance (Wales) Act 2014 during the fifth Assembly and recommends that the successor Committee considers any lessons arising from the Auditor General’s report, when published.
