NHS diagnostic hubs to be rolled out across Wales
The new Health Minister has set out his plans for the Welsh Government
The new Health Minister has set out his plans for the Welsh Government.
One of Mabon ap Gwynfor's top priorities will be to roll out a programme of up to ten surgical and diagnostic hubs in an effort to increase capacity of the NHS which are hoped to cut delays.
The government says 'two-year waits will be eliminated within months'.
Plans are being drawn up to recruit 100 new salaried GPs for out-of-hours primary care
Mabon ap Gwynfor, Cabinet Minister for Health and Care, said:
"Having to wait years for treatment, with all the pain and anxiety that entails, is an intolerable reality for far too many people in Wales.
"With urgency, decisive action and ambition, we will protect the NHS and build a healthier, fairer Wales — with a health and care system that puts people first and delivers the change our nation needs."
Community care will also be set to expand with new plans for discharge routes.
A ten-year Digital and Data Strategy is being planned in an attempt to modernise NHS infrastructure with a long-term workforce strategy to be published in the autumn.
Due to a shortage of available posts for this year’s nursing, midwifery and paramedic graduates, organisations will be brought together at a summit to consider immediate support and options to prevent similar problems in the future.
