Looking at healthcare in Wales ahead of Senedd elections

In this episode of Health on the Line, we are joined by Paul Mears, chief executive of Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board and Nesta Lloyd Jones, assistant director of the Welsh NHS Confederation, to discuss the current outlook for healthcare in Wales. 

With Senedd elections looming and major political changes likely, we discuss how the Welsh health and care system operates, the challenges facing leaders and the opportunities to shift care closer to communities.  

We also hear from our own Ian Perrin, assistant director for policy, ICS Network, to unpack the ongoing reorganisation of integrated care boards and the pressures they face following significant budget reductions and shifting national expectations.
