Question
Does the Welsh Government intend to review and update the Health Protection (Notification) (Wales) Regulations 2010, and if so, when will this take place?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Health and Care (Mabon ap Gwynfor)
The Health Protection (Notification) (Wales) Regulations 2010 are kept under continuous review to ensure they remain effective and reflect the latest clinical, scientific and operational evidence. This has included consideration of lessons and response actions arising from recent public health incidents and outbreaks, including COVID-19 and mpox. Should amendments be considered necessary, any proposed changes would be informed by the latest expert advice and evidence and subject to appropriate consultation.
