Written question WQ100459

Quality Statements are intended to drive continuous improvement and therefore do not have a fixed end date or implementation timetable. Through the Quality Statement for Neurological Conditions, the Welsh Government has set out its expectations for improving outcomes and ensuring people of all ages living with, or affected by, neurological conditions have timely and equitable access to high-quality services. We set out our aims in the Quality Statement for neurological conditions.

Health boards and NHS trusts are expected to use Quality Statements to underpin the planning and delivery of high-quality services in line with clinical standards and guidelines, including from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Health boards and trusts are supported nationally by NHS Wales Performance and Improvement to implement these standards across care pathways.
