Question
What plans does the Welsh Government have to implement the standards of care and service delivery outlined in the quality statement for neurological conditions?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Health and Care (Mabon ap Gwynfor)
The Welsh Government’s aim is to ensure that people of all ages living with or affected by a neurological condition, have timely and equitable access to high-quality services to enable them to live their best lives. We set out our aims in the Quality Statement for neurological conditions.
Health boards and NHS trusts are expected to use Quality Statements to underpin the planning and delivery of high-quality services in line with clinical standards and guidelines, including from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
Health boards and trusts are supported nationally by NHS Wales Performance and Improvement to implement these standards across care pathways.
