Following the announcement that the Wye Valley NHS Trust has been placed into special measures, Powys teaching Health Board would like to reassure those Powys residents that access services in Hereford about the services they receive.
Powys teaching Health Board commissions both emergency and planned care from the Trust and is working alongside the Hereford Clinical Commissioning Group to support it to put in place plans to improve the quality of its services.
The Health Board has confidence that the announced partnership with University Hospitals Birmingham will further strengthen the ability for Wye Valley NHS trust to address the significant challenges identified in the Care Quality Commission report and welcomes the additional support that this will provide.
The Health Board recognises its role in supporting the Trust in reducing the burden of acute care and the importance of Powys’s contribution in implementing plans to reduce unnecessary emergency admissions, as we move into the winter months.
They welcome feedback from their patients and their carers about their experience of services that they receive from themsselves and all our providers and will continue to use this to inform the work they undertake with their providers to improve the quality of health services for Powys residents.
