Question
What consideration has the Minister given regarding the impact that the nurses' strike will have on patients in Pembrokeshire who are scheduled to receive treatments in the coming weeks, such as the changing of catheters?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
The public should be assured that arrangements will be made with RCN Wales to ensure there will be levels of staffing to ensure life-saving and life-maintaining care being provided during any industrial action.
Health boards are now focused on understanding the specific implications of industrial action in their services and putting in place contingency plans.
Health boards will of course communicate in advance to patients where services are impacted.
