Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health, Social Care and Welsh Language | Answered on 18/07/2024

Last month, I published an end of  year two six goals for urgent and emergency care programme progress report, and updated members in the Senedd on 11 June 2024 outlining progress and highlighting priorities for the coming year.

Key achievements in quarter one of 2024/2025 include:

  • Development of Quality Statement for care in Emergency Departments implementation plans;
  • Launch of ‘E-Triage’ pilots at two emergency departments in Wales;
  • Delivery and evaluation of a Clinical Support Hub Paediatric Consultant pilot;
  • Extension of Fraction Liaison Services (FLS);
  • Extension of a Telehealth Programme in two LHB areas;
  • Development of Pathway of Care Delays (POCD) dashboards and trajectory tools, and
  • Launch of an NHS 111 Wales Urgent Dental, enhanced clinical pathway.
