We know it is important to keep you updated, especially when you have taken the time to share your thoughts and views with us.
The output report will be published, fully considered, and discussed as part of a Health Board meeting likely held towards the end of the summer 2023. Health Board meetings are held in public, with people either able to attend in person or to watch digitally. We will advertise this meeting on our website and social media pages.
A project group for the consultation, made up of Health Board staff, will put forward a recommendation to the Health Board’s Directors and Independent Members on the potential ways forward for narrowing down or choosing a site for a new Urgent and Planned Care Hospital. This is called the final report.
Board members will consider all they have heard leading up to, and during, this consultation, including the Equality and Health Impact Assessment, which will consider how people could be impacted and what needs to be done to reduce negative impacts. They will also consider any new information that may come to light as a result of the consultation or ongoing technical and commercial work. It may be several years before we open a new hospital to the public. This is because the Health Board needs to know the outcome of both the consultation, and its Programme Business Case application to Welsh Government to secure necessary support and funding.
