Written Statement (Wales): A Healthier Wales Actions Refresh - Dec 4

Jeremy Miles, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care: In Autumn 2023, the Welsh Government's Chief Scientific Adviser for Health published a report “NHS in 10+ years: An examination of the projected impact of Long-Term Conditions and Risk Factors in Wales” describing the challenges the NHS in Wales is likely to face over the next 10 to 25 years.  The report made it clear that the current demographic, economic and societal challenges facing our health and care system in Wales will continue to place unsustainable demands on our services. 

In response to the evidence set out in this report, the former Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care announced a refresh of the actions within A Healthier Wales, our long term plan for health and care.
