Welsh health secretary Jeremy Miles will hold a series of public meeting with NHS organisations.

Members of the public will be able to view the meetings online as Miles plans to hold the NHS to account on how they are improving care and access.

The meetings will focus on how the NHS is meeting waiting times targets; their financial position and outlook; and quality and safety.

The first meeting with Cwm Taf University Health Board will be on Thursday 23 October. Other meetings will follow with Velindre University NHS Trust, Digital Health and Care Wales, Health Education and Improvement Wales, Public Health Wales and Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust before the end of March 2026.

Cabinet secretary for health and social care Jeremy Miles said: "I’ve organised these meetings as I want to improve accountability and transparency in the NHS.

"I want people to have confidence in the standards of healthcare and the performance of health organisations where they live.

"I want to open the doors to the NHS and increase confidence in the system."

The health secretary has also highlighted other steps designed to improve transparency and accountability in the NHS.

More performance data is being published than ever before, ncluding a quarterly report about how health boards are performing against key emergency and planned care measures.

The Welsh Ambulance Service’s clinical model has also been reformed and contains more meaningful outcome-based measures.

The Senedd recently approved approved regulations which will reform the NHS complaints and redress system and all NHS organisations are systematically collecting patient feedback about services.

Miles continued: "If we’re going to improve the NHS in Wales, we need to ensure organisations are open and honest, use data to improve their performance and make this publicly available, and listen to people who use their services and can learn from their mistakes."
