Out of Area Treatment: Wales
Monday 16th December 2024

Asked by: Matt Bishop (Labour - Forest of Dean)

Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what steps she is taking with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to provide (a) guidance and (b) training to healthcare providers on welsh health regulations when providing cross-border healthcare services.

Answered by Jo Stevens - Secretary of State for Wales

NHS Wales and NHS England have a Statement of Values and Principles that underpins the arrangements for treatment for patients living on the Wales England border. This supports better patient outcomes and avoids fragmentation of care for those people living either side of the border. Further detail on the statement is in the link below.
