🔍 No Criminal Activity Found in Welsh NHS 🔍
Welsh Health Minister Jeremy Miles has made a clear statement: there is no evidence of criminal activity within a Welsh NHS partnership that’s recently been under scrutiny. This announcement follows the unexpected departure of David Donegan from his role as the CEO of Velindre NHS Trust after just a year, sparking questions and media speculations.
Conservative health spokesman James Evans raised the issue in the Senedd, suggesting that Donegan’s departure might be linked to concerns he raised about governance in the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP). Questions were also raised about the end of the chair’s term at the Velindre Trust, who reportedly shared similar concerns.
The NWSSP provides support and services across NHS Wales, collaborating with public services and the Welsh Government. Amidst these allegations, Miles assures that no evidence of wrongdoing has been presented to the Welsh Government. To shed light on the situation, an independent review of the NWSSP’s governance was commissioned earlier this year. The findings will soon be published to ensure transparency moving forward.
As the drama unfolds, Carl James has stepped in as Interim CEO, bringing stability to Velindre at this critical juncture. Meanwhile, the Welsh Government reiterates its detachment from decisions regarding Donegan’s employment, stating it was solely handled by the Velindre board.
Stay tuned for updates as the review’s final recommendations and responses are set to be published. This transparency aims to strengthen governance and accountability across NHS Wales. 📢
