Question

Will the Minister confirm when a new contract for the provision of stoma services across the Welsh NHS will start?

Answer

Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services

The procurement contract for Stoma Care Support Services was not awarded as a legal challenge was received, prior to its award, from two unsuccessful bidders.

A new procurement process is being designed in conjunction with Health Boards. The new contract is expected to start by 1st September 2024.

In the meantime, the current arrangements will still be in place until a new contract is awarded.
