Embargoed trailer: New Health Secretary will champion good practice to drive down waiting times

Rhagflas dan embargo: Yr Ysgrifennydd Iechyd newydd yn hyrwyddo arferion da i leihau amseroedd aros

The new Cabinet Secretary for Health has said he will “champion and challenge” NHS Wales as the latest performance data is published today.

Jeremy Miles will say: “The public have told us they want to see waiting times come down and they want faster access to care and treatment.

“For the first time today, a new statistical report will be published setting out individual health boards’ performance against a range of NHS measures.  

“I will be visiting the breast cancer centre of excellence at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr today to see how Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is improving cancer care.

“I want to champion all the good work the NHS is doing in Wales but I will also challenge organisations to learn from where others are performing well and share good practice as we work together to cut waiting times.”
