4 Feb 2026
Cross-border healthcare arrangements between England and Wales Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 27 Mar 2026) Cross-border healthcare affects individuals living in both England and across Wales, who travel between the nations for GPs, specialist care, hospitals, and more. Cross-border healthcare arrangements between England and Wales offer unique challenges, some of which the Welsh Affairs Committee heard during a one-off evidence session conducted in January 2025.
This inquiry is building on the Committee’s previous evidence session on cross-border healthcare to explore in greater depth the issues affecting patients. It will look at the progress that has been made with cross-border healthcare arrangements as well as identify areas of improvement. It will also seek to address the impact of recent policy healthcare announcements on cross-border healthcare arrangements.
