Welsh Assembly Government’s planner:

Poster sets out priorities for NHS services in Wales

Some 10,000 bi–lingual A2–size posters are to be sent to local health boards and local authorities in Wales for patients to see what the Welsh Assembly Government's main priorities are for the NHS over the coming year.

Posters will be distributed to healthcare settings, for example, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentists, opticians, pharmacies and other public buildings, such as local libraries and social services departments to help inform patients of what the NHS will focus on in 2008–09.

”The poster will focus on 15 priority areas, including access to cardiac, cancer, stroke care and mental health services, as well as targets for waiting times, accident and emergency and ambulance services and the work to reduce delayed transfers of care and healthcare associated infections,” said the Health Secretary announcing the project.
