St. Asaph
  • The seminar at the St Asaph Optic Technium was the first of the six held across Wales and involved 24 leaders from Welsh Public Services. Details can be accessed here.
  • A summary of the Wales Audit Office key findings presented by Chief Operating Officer Anthony Snow can be accessed here.
  • Alan Murray, Chief Executive of the Wales Ambulance Service Trust (WAST) provided two examples of shared learning which were of interest to other organisations. These focused upon the joint procurement of occupation health services with Fire and Rescue services, and the co-location of WAST vehicles, again at Fire and Rescue sites. Both of these examples are currently being developed into case studies for the shared learning forum.

 Key messages from the St Asaph delegates:

  • Delegates felt demonstrating success in specific areas will help others see what can be achieved and what benefits can be obtained.
  • Politicians need to set the policy agenda / broad direction, and then leave delivery up to the paid professionals locally.
  • Delegates felt it was important how the Welsh Assembly Government responded to the messages that relate to them and then demonstrated that they are listening and acting.
  • Hard to reach and high risk citizens often have multi agency needs, and better collaboration by public sector bodies would be more effective

The outputs of the seminar have been summarised here. The key messages that the delegates raised will be considered alongside the outputs of the other seminars over the coming month.

If you wish to comment upon the key messages, make more general comments or add a point of clarity I would be very pleased to hear from you. Please contact me via email at, anthony.snow@wao.gov.uk
