The Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust (WAST) has come under significant and frequent scrutiny since its establishment as a national organisation in 1998.
There has been concern about the way the Trust is funded and managed, and the impact this may have had on the ability to meet performance targets set by the Welsh Government.
The former Minister for Health, Social Services commissioned this Review to establish
where improvements can be made to deliver high quality ambulance services, within the
context of NHS Wales’ strategic direction.
This is a strategic Review focusing on the wider challenges facing the ambulance service.
The Review focuses on the ambulance service but recognises its place within a whole
system approach to the delivery of care.
