NHS Finances and Governance

The Auditor General for Wales published a data tool in September 2023 which summarised the financial position of each NHS Health Board in Wales, based on information from their 2022-23 Accounts. During the financial year, the accounts of all seven Health Boards had been qualified by the Auditor General.

The Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee conducted an inquiry to explore the pressures facing Health Boards in Wales and NHS Wales as a whole, considering their financial and governance issues. As part of this inquiry, the Committee considered:

>>>> 

>>>NHS finances generally;

>>>The escalation framework;

>>>The accountability review;

>>>Progress in relation to the Velindre Cancer Centre Project.

<<<
