Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board Strategic Equality Survey
Every 4 years public Sector organisations in Wales, such as NHS organisations, are required to develop and publish a plan setting out how it will meet its legal requirements under the under the Equality Act 2010 (Statutory Duties) (Wales) Regulations 2011.
We are required to develop strategic equality objectives and a four-year action plan setting out how it will meet those objectives in a specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely way. This is called the SMART objectives and this ensures that the actions identified are achievable and will make a difference to the lives of both communities that access our services and our staff.
This year the Health Board wants to ensure that these strategic objectives and priorities are co-produced. You have an active part to play in letting us know what is important to you.
This survey will form a part of that process, alongside, attending existing public events, such as Pride, National Eisteddfod, Welcome week at universities, community events and holding sessions in our hospitals and community buildings.
Survey Deadline is the 6th October

Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service (EMRTS) Service Review
The Emergency Ambulance Services Committee (EASC) is a Joint Committee of the seven Health Boards in Wales and is hosted by Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. EASC has the responsibility for planning and securing sufficient ambulance services for the population. Each of the seven Health Board Chief Executives is a member of the Committee and they collaboratively commission emergency and non-emergency ambulance services which include the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust and the Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service (EMRTS Cymru – Wales Air Ambulance). In addition, there are three associate members who are the Chief Executives of Velindre University NHS Trust, the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust and Public Health Wales NHS Trust.
Opportunities to develop the EMRTS Cymru service are being reviewed. EASC has agreed to look at the potential additional activity that could be achieved from existing bases and to explore options to reconfigure the service. An engagement process which will provide an opportunity for people to share their views has begun and you can see more details here.
June 2023 update – close of Phase One of public engagement
The all Wales public engagement that began in March 2023 has focused on listening to comments, queries and gathering of feedback on how to develop options to further improve the air ambulance service in Wales.
Following 14 weeks of public engagement, the first phase of the Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service (EMRTS) Review - about how to further improve the air ambulance service in Wales that is provided in partnership – has ended.
Following Phase One, the work to develop a range of options is the focus for the Commissioner and his team during the next few months, all informed by the feedback to date as well as complementary data modelling that is also underway.
Once the options are developed, the Commissioner plans to go back out to the public as Phase Two for comment on these that will help him arrive at a recommended and preferred option, which will then be taken to be considered by the Emergency Ambulance Services Committee (EASC) for decision.
Phase Two of the public engagement is expected to start in the autumn with confirmed dates and location details published at a later stage.
