The Minister of Health has published a 
new five year vision for the NHS, “Together for Health”, which outlines the challenges facing the NHS and the actions necessary to ensure that it can perform at the highest levels.
new five year vision for the NHS, “Together for Health”, which outlines the challenges facing the NHS and the actions necessary to ensure that it can perform at the highest levels. Powys tHB’s strategic direction, as outlined in “New Directions for Powys”, is in line with the main commitments outlined in Together for Health and I do not envisage major change in our planning proposals.
Clearly the need for change in the delivery of secondary care and the establishment of specialist centres of excellence is an important element of the announcement and we are liaising closely with neighbouring health organisations to ensure that the needs of Powys residents are met safely and are accessible for all.
