Will the Minister provide the number of operational Urgent Primary Care Centres in Wales, their locations and the number of primary care clusters each Urgent Primary Care Centres serves?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
There is a variation of Urgent Primary Care Centre (UPCC) models funded by the Six Goals Programme across Wales, which include:
• Health Board (HB) Model: 24/7 urgent primary care centres managed by health boards, staffed with a multi-disciplinary team.
• Cluster(s) / Locality Model: Urgent primary care delivered on a cluster (or pan cluster) level, staffed with a local General Practice workforce and some models linked to third sector mental health support.
• Hybrid Model: Both health board and practice / cluster led and delivered in a community hospital.
