Will the Minister outline the number of times the Welsh Government has met with NHS health boards and NHS representatives to discuss plans for the NHS post-COVID-19 since January 2021 and provide the outcomes of those meetings?
I can confirm that officials have met with the NHS health boards and trust on a number of occasions since January 2021 as part of their regular meetings and discussions. These discussions will have covered a wide range of areas such as the ongoing planning and response to COVID-19, along with the actions required by the NHS to get back on track, alongside managing the impact of the pandemic going forward. These discussions have helped to inform Health and Social Care in Wales - COVID 19 Looking Forward document that was issued on 22 March.
