Question
Will the Minister outline the number of times the Welsh NHS used independent services and hospitals since March 2021, along with a cost and treatment breakdown?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
The Welsh Government does not hold this information. Each health board in Wales will have their own contracts with independent providers, both in Wales and England. We would expect health boards to get value for money with any contracts that are placed using providers on the NHS Wales Shared Services approved list.
