Written question WQ100204

The Welsh Government divisions most likely to receive such approaches, namely Capital and Estates, Delivery and Performance, Health Sciences, and Planning, are not aware of any recent specific offer made directly to the Welsh Government by a community organisation, charity or commercial provider to support NHS X-ray services in rural Wales. On that basis, no such offer has been identified as having been declined.

This position is based on enquiries with the relevant Welsh Government policy and delivery areas, rather than an exhaustive review of all correspondence received. Organisations interested in supporting a local NHS service are encouraged to engage with the relevant Health Board in the first instance, so that any proposal can be considered collaboratively in the context of local service needs, clinical requirements and the Health Board’s wider plans.
