Derbyniwyd ateb ar 17 Mai 2017

Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd, Llesiant a Chwaraeon (Vaughan Gething): In order to improve escalation processes, the Welsh Government has commissioned the NHS Wales Delivery Unit to undertake a six month targeted intervention at both Wrexham Maelor and Ysbyty Glan Clwyd sites, which will focus on improving senior decision making processes to limit risks to patient safety and enable better patient flow through the hospital sites, at times of peak pressure.  A key component of this work will relate to emergency care access targets.

Alongside this work, the Welsh Government has sought assurance on the role of Clinical Directors in the escalation process, the use of data intelligence to inform capacity and demand planning and the impact that actions from the local operational plan are having on delivery.

Officials continue to engage with the Health Board and seek assurance on improvement through daily urgent care conference calls.   The Deputy Chief Executive of NHS Wales will also be holding summit meetings with each health board to discuss unscheduled care improvement over the coming weeks.

Mark Drakeford: Details of all live and completed projects supported through the Invest to Save fund are published on the Welsh Government's website and can be found at:
 
http://gov.wales/docs/dpsp/publications/valuewales/170307-projects-2015-en.pdf
 
The total projected savings of all Invest to Save projects implemented by Health Boards and Local Authorities since 2011 is over £85.7 million per annum and  £3.1 million per annum respectively.

Assessing the total cash benefits generated by the portfolio of Invest to Save projects is complex and influenced by a number of different factors, including that Invest to Save funding meets up to 75% of total project costs so it would not be appropriate to attribute all of the savings as a direct result of the Invest to Save funding.


 
Angela Burns (Gorllewin Caerfyrddin a De Sir Benfro): A wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet nodi sut y mae'r Llywodraeth yn bwriadu dyrannu unrhyw elw a ddaw o ardoll y diwydiant diodydd meddal? (WAQ73471)
