Question
Will the Cabinet Minister provide an update on the Welsh Government's comprehensive audit of health data sources?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Health and Care (Mabon ap Gwynfor)
A group of Welsh data experts from across health and care organisations have been commissioned to support and advise Welsh Government officials in undertaking the comprehensive audit of health data sources. This group will provide expertise to shape the scope of the audit, undertake an analysis of collated data sources and identify gaps where further activity is required.
The commission group is expected to meet for the first time on 29 September 2026.
I have written to the Chief Executives of NHS Wales Health Boards and Trusts and to Chief Executives of Local Authorities in Wales to request support in facilitating timely responses by their organisations to any requests for data issued the commission group.
