Two Welsh health boards have been placed under a higher level of Welsh Government intervention for failing to produce "balanced and approvable" plans on how to deliver healthcare in their areas. In a written statement by Health Minister Eluned Morgan, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board was escalated from routine arrangements to enhanced monitoring for planning and finance.
Hywel Dda University Health Board, which covers Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, has seen its own planning and finance escalated from enhanced monitoring to targeted intervention - one step further than Cardiff and Vale UHB. Hywel Dda UHB will also remain in enhanced monitoring for quality and performance.
Welsh Government officials meet with Audit Wales and Healthcare Inspectorate Wales at least twice a year to discuss the overall position of each health board, NHS trust and special health authority in respect of quality, governance, service performance and financial management.
