Summary
There are a number of fundamental weaknesses in governance around patient safety and the quality of care at Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, a joint review by Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) and the Wales Audit Office found.
Following well-publicised concerns about maternity services at the Health Board, the joint review examined the organisation’s overall approach to quality governance. It found that whilst there has been a strong focus on financial balance and meeting key targets, less attention has been paid to the overall quality and safety of its services.
The report highlights the need for stronger and broader leadership in respect of quality and patient safety and worryingly, points to a culture of fear and blame in some parts of the organisation that has prevented staff from speaking out and raising concerns.
