Independent reviews and our response

There are a number of focus areas for us and we are contributing to a number of independent reviews arranged by Welsh Government to help us identify how we can make the most positive impact in the following areas:

  • Mental Health Inpatient Safety
  • Executive Portfolios
  • Interim Staff
  • Planning
  • Contract Procurement Management
  • Patient Safety
  • Clinical Governance Systems
  • Mental Health Reviews Stocktake
  • Office of the Board Secretary
  • Vascular

As a Board we have discussed four of these so far, which can be found, along with our response to them below:
