National Assembly for Wales

The Welsh Government will continue to prioritise strategic action to drive change as set out in 'A Healthier Wales'. This includes, for example: the transformation programme and transformation fund; research, innovation and improvement; and supporting health and social care to work more closely together through the integrated care fund.  

Our approach to improving renal services is set out in the Welsh renal clinical network's delivery plan for renal services in Wales. The plan provides a framework for health boards setting out the expectations of the NHS in Wales to commission and deliver high quality patient centred care.

Welsh Government is committed to supporting people in Wales with mental health issues, including those with eating disorders. The recommendations in the eating disorder services review are ambitious and we have provided additional funding to support service improvement.

We are committed to addressing child health inequalities in Wales. Our programme for government includes the healthy child Wales programme, which helps ensure that inequalities linked to poor child health are further reduced by delivering a universal set of health visitor contacts to all children in Wales, with additional support provided in response to identified need. 

The chief digital officer's role is to deliver the Welsh Government's agenda for digital, data and technology. The role provides leadership across the organisation to ensure the effective delivery of digital and technology transformation, cross-Government working on data issues, and growing staff skills in digital and data.  

The Welsh Government ensures that all loans are regularly monitored to assess progress against their original application. A full evaluation is held following completion to ensure value for money has been obtained. We continue to explore how monitoring arrangements can be improved from previous successful applications.

We have raised our position of 'not a penny less, not a power lost' with the UK Prime Minister, Secretary of State for Wales and other UK Ministers. Yet, with10 months until EU funding tails off, there is still no clarity on its proposals.
