NHS

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions he has had with the Welsh Assembly Government Health Minister on cross-border flow of NHS patients.
Answer

I have regular meetings with my colleagues in the Welsh Assembly Government, including the Minister for Health and Social Services, when we discuss a range of issues, including the cross-border patients. It is important that both the Governments here and in Wales work in partnership, to ensure that the highest standard of services is delivered to people on both sides of the border.
