Duty of Quality

The Welsh Government would like your views on how to introduce the necessary changes for implementing the Duty of Quality.

The Duty of Quality means NHS organisations and Welsh Ministers have a duty to:

• create a culture of quality within organisations
• focus on improving the quality of health services and outcomes for the population on an ongoing basis
• actively monitor progress of improvement and routinely share this information with their population

The Welsh Government are consulting on how to introduce the Duty of Quality to NHS organisations and Welsh Health Ministers through new statutory guidance.

Further information can also be found on The Welsh Government website The duty of quality | GOV.WALES

In order to allow time for our authorisation process we would need to receive any comments by 29 November 2022.
