Welsh response to Stafford Hospital scandal unveiled
The Welsh Government yesterday unveiled plans to protect Welsh NHS patients in the wake of the Stafford Hospital scandal.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said that the Francis report into failings at Stafford Hospital had led to a “critical eye” being cast over the NHS in Wales.
He announced a review of the NHS budget to ensure that patient safety and quality of care were protected.
He also announced measures including allocating £10m of funding to recruit 290 more hospital nurses, changes to the NHS complaints system and a ban on gagging clauses.
