What proportion of hospitals in the Welsh NHS comply with adequate infection prevention and control standards?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care | Answered on 20/08/2024
Infection prevention and control is everybody’s business and must be integral to everyday healthcare practice based on the best available evidence.
Every health board is expected to comply with infection prevention and control guidance and provide regular updates to its board. They are also scrutinised at the monthly integrated quality, planning and delivery meetings held monthly with Welsh Government officials.
