New Health and Well-Being Council will play key role, says Jane
Hutt
The new National Health and Well-Being Council will have a real and
important contribution to make in how we create and deliver health and
well-being policies in Wales, Health and Social Services Minister Jane
Hutt said today.
"Creating the Council emphasises once more the Welsh Assembly
Government's commitment to listening to the communities we serve," she
said. "Health crosses many boundaries and touches many lives. It is this
diversity which requires us to ensure that health policy-making seeks to
take account of these diverse influences."
The Council will give the Assembly access to a rich source of opinion
and advice about all aspects of health and well-being issues. It will:
* Support the Welsh Assembly Government in discharging its
responsibilities for improving health services and engaging a full range
of stakeholders in the development of policies and plans.
* Provide advice on policy and monitor progress of the
implementation
of the NHS Plan.
* Commission advice from other forums/groups on health and
well-being
issues.
*
* The membership of the council will include the broadest possible
range of interests such as:
*
* Patients groups;
* Voluntary sector;
* Social care;
* Local government;
* NHS staff and professional bodies;
* Groups which are currently under-represented such as those
working
for children, mental health issues and ethnic minorities.
*
*
* The Council will meet at least twice a year and all meetings
will be
open to the public.
* Jane Hutt said: "The creation of the National Health and
Well-Being
Council represents another important step forward in the renewal
process. Over the coming weeks I will be seeking nominations for the
Council. I look forward to working with the Council as we pursue a
shared aim - that of creating an NHS in Wales which is more responsive
to the needs of our population and which is well equipped to meet the
challenges of the 21st century."
