Question
Will the Welsh Government use the independent contractor model in the provision of NHS Wales services to improve access to community audiology services?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Community audiology is delivered through NHS‑provided services, and there are no plans to introduce or expand an independent contractor model. We will continue to support Health Boards in maintaining timely access to care.
