“ …We have a vision of what to do; founded on the most important part of health care – a trusted relationship between the public and professionals, with both playing an equal part in achieving better health outcomes, better quality of care and better value. No single person has all the answers; prudent healthcare offers us a way of building the future together. …”
“We have to continue the journey through prudent healthcare. It’s got real purchase across clinicians within the service, but I don’t think it’s really embedded right across the service as consistently as it could or should be.
We need to turn our ambitions into more consistent realities.”
Vaughan Gething, Cabinet Secretary

5. Focusing Collective National Action
All this work has culminated in three priority areas for action, because they touch the lives of many people and because coordinated action taken at both a national level, and by all organisations, will have a significant impact on the way health services in particular, are delivered and provided in Wales.

Empowering and enabling the public, professionals and public service leaders will be key to making prudent healthcare part of everyday services.
