News: Welsh Assembly Government Statement from Edwina Hart, Minister for Health and Social Services
21 November 2007, Welsh Assembly Government


Minister for Health and Social Services Edwina Hart makes statement on Renal Services and Transplantation


Presiding Officer, I am grateful for the opportunity to make this statement setting out my plans for renal services and transplantation in Wales.


I have recently spoken with renal patients, clinicians and carers in Wales to listen to their experiences. These discussions have reinforced my commitment to ensuring that renal patients receive their care as locally as possible as part of a comprehensive, well organised service.


Wales has a good record for both renal dialysis and transplantation rates in the UK, but more needs to be done to meet both present and future demand.
