Answer

Health and Wellbeing sets out a roadmap for the future of Health and Social Care and the detail will be developed through a process of co-production with stakeholders. As such consultation will take place around the proposals for change as they emerge.

I am committed to the process of co-design and co-production and have already commenced a series of engagement with stakeholders and have found the response to my vision broadly positive.

The consultation on the criteria proposed by the Expert Panel for the reconfiguration of Health and Social Care services has begun as has the consultation on proposals to improve Pathology Services. I have also launched two strategies that will modernise and enhance paediatric healthcare over the next 10 years.

Consultation and engagement will be key features throughout the transformation process.
