Question
Has the Cabinet Secretary met or corresponded with representatives from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board regarding the recent exceptional pressures on A&E services at University Hospital Wales?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
I have not held meetings or corresponded with the health board on this issue. As is standard practice, Welsh Government officials and NHS Executive staff monitor operational pressures through daily risk management mechanisms. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board provided assurance through these mechanisms about actions to mitigate risks and to enable de-escalation.
