New Audit Wales reports have highlighted ongoing concerns around digital transformation within NHS Wales, raising questions about whether the new Plaid Cymru Government can deliver on its ambitions for digital healthcare reform.
Commenting, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Health and Social Care, Natasha Asghar MS said:
“Digital transformation is essential if we are to improve patient outcomes, reduce waiting lists and modernise the NHS in Wales, but that cannot happen without the right infrastructure, leadership and delivery in place.
“Plaid’s so-called plan is still only a proposal to develop a future strategy, rather than delivering the action needed. These reports show NHS Wales cannot afford more vague promises and delayed delivery.
“If Ministers are serious about reforming healthcare in Wales, creating an environment where digital transformation can succeed must be a top priority.”
