 On 11 July 2006, the National Assembly for Wales voted to invite Jeremy Colman, Auditor General for Wales, to lead an Inquiry into ambulance services in Wales. It proposed that the Inquiry should:
-
look at the effectiveness of performance standards, staffing issues, financial and resource pressures, together with any other related matters considered relevant; and
-
consider the implications for the future and make recommendations accordingly.
In order to do this, the Inquiry addressed a very forward looking question.
Should the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust do what it is planning to do?
Within this framework, the Inquiry considered:
-
Whether the trust has a clear understanding of its position, in terms of its current position, in terms of its current performance and the enablers of good performance;
-
Whether the trust has a sound plan to improve the situation; and
-
Whether there are any risks to the successful implementation of the plan.
In taking evidence, the Inquiry team focused on these three questions, as well as ideas about how the Trust might deliver improvements for the future provision of ambulance services in Wales.
