Welsh Executive briefing paper on political, health and pharmacy environment in Wales

A briefing paper on the political, health and pharmacy environment in Wales has been published by the Welsh Executive of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.

The document was produced to inform the Society’s devolution review but is now being made public.

The 28-page main section of the document includes information on health policy in Wales, the legislative powers of the Welsh Assembly Government, the organisational structure of the NHS in Wales and how pharmacy bodies interact with these organisations and statutory bodies. A further 14 pages is given over to references and appendices, which include organisational flow charts and a glossary of committees, structures and organisations within Wales.

“A briefing on the political, health and pharmacy environment in Wales” can be downloaded as a PDF file from the Welsh Executive website or can be obtained in hard copy from the office of the Welsh Executive at Gloucester House, 14 Mount Stuart Square, Cardiff CF10 5DP (tel 029 2041 2800; e-mail wales@rpsgb.org). In preparation is an interactive online version of the briefing, with hyperlinks to useful resources for further information.
