That's our hope, yes. There's nothing to suggest at the moment that it won't be fit for purpose. The legal frameworks that we have are pretty solid at the moment, they've worked well over the last number of years, although there might be political questions…

So, assessments have been made of any potential financial implications and we don't foresee any financial implications for the NHS in Wales or Welsh Government.

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
So, as I said, as the Bill progresses, officials keep in contact with officials in England so there's an understanding and a continuity there.

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Yes, so—. Thanks, Claire. We've got to monitor the Bill as it progresses now, making sure that it doesn't impact on Welsh patients. We'll continue to assess any of the implications that might arise from abolishing NHS England and any consequential service…

Sorry. I'll answer in English. I’m so sorry, Jayne. When the commissioning body or the organisation that commissions the service asks for that service to be provided, then they're in charge of the patient; that will continue, and responsibility will lie with…

Wyt. Mae hwnna'n bwynt teg. Unwaith eto, bydd Llais yn parhau i fod yn gorff sy'n cynrychioli ac yn eirioli ar ran cleifion Cymru. Mae'r hyn maen nhw'n gwneud gyda Healthwatch yn Lloegr yn fater i Loegr; bydd e ddim yn effeithio ar gleifion yng Nghymru. Eto…

Dwi'n meddwl, ar hynny, mae hwnna'n gwestiwn teg ac mae yna gwestiwn ehangach yn fanna, onid oes, o ran y drefn bresennol: ydy pobl yn ymwybodol o'r system atebolrwydd sydd gennym ni mewn lle? Hwyrach bod hwnna'n rhywbeth y byddech chi'n dymuno edrych arno yn…

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
So, once again, there are frameworks in place already, ensuring that patients from Wales can escalate concerns and have access to advocacy. So, we've got Llais in Wales already, and they will still have the ability to represent patients in Wales, even though…

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
And especially as we have so many patients from Wales being treated in England. And there are services that we can provide here. So, moving forward to the future, it's certainly something we need to look at.

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4

Again, in the response we've had today, I've just scanned it, but there's a part there saying that the UK Government are willing to work with us, if we want, as a Welsh Government, to look at how they can allow that provision of interoperability between the…

I remember when we first saw this when it came on my desk, that was one of the major concerns I had, and one of the questions I asked was, 'How can we allow this to happen, whereby the UK Government would be allowed to overrule the Welsh Government in this…

Again, we've received assurances from the UK Government that those amendments will be placed, so we have to wait and see that, but that gives us the security that they've listened to our concerns around it.

Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol: Y Bil Iechyd - Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
We did have some serious reservations about the proposed changes with Schedule 7, as was promoted, which was going to amend the 2012 Act, but officials shared those concerns with the UK Gov officials, expressed those concerns, and as Mari has eloquently…

Okay, so when it comes to the single patient record, the main area of concern for us in Welsh Government has been on understanding the cross-border element of the information-sharing implications for Wales. So, we've had some assurances from the UK Government…

Yes, so these are all considerations that will have to be kept in mind as the Bill progresses. As things stand, again, just to re-emphasise my understanding, we've got no real concerns about the agreements that we currently have between the JCC, as the…
