Question
What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the practices of the company eHarley Street that run 10 GP surgeries in the Gwent and Cardiff areas?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Health boards are responsible for the planning and delivery of primary medical services to its local population, this includes the management of contracts for primary care services.
Earlier this year Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, through an open tender process, awarded contracts for GMS services at practices that had been managed by the health board for some time.
I expect the health board, as part of the contract awarding process, to have carried out a thorough process of due diligence and to be monitoring the provision of services through established procedures.
