Atebwyd gan Minister for Health and Social Services
We must remain cautious as we are still in a global pandemic, especially with the prevalence of the Delta variant. However, we recognise the need for our health and social care services to plan for delivery of the next twelve months and beyond, which includes the reintroduction of the more routine services where it is safe to do so.
We published ‘The Health and Social Care in Wales COVID-19: Looking Forward’ in March, which complemented the NHS Wales Planning Framework for 2021-22, and set out the high level expectations for NHS and social care recovery, the challenges and constraints and priorities for each part of the system. It brings together the whole system approach in one document to demonstrate a clear direction for rebuilding key services.
Finalised Annual Plans have been submitted for 2021/22 incorporating the recovery proposals. Officials and key partners are currently reviewing the plans and will continue to work closely with our health and social services as they continue to implement their plans in response to both COVID and non-COVID activity. These will allow us to better understand the picture across Wales for the current year. An initial £100m funding has allocated to support delivery and improve patient outcomes.
