In line with our NHS service of concern process, in February 2022 we designated the Vascular Services at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board as a Service Requiring Significant Improvement (SRSI).
We therefore decided to undertake a local review within the health board’s vascular services, which will examine the progress made by the health board in relation to each recommendation highlighted in the RCOS report, to gain assurances on patient safety and the quality of care being provided.
Due to operational reasons, the estimated publication of the review was delayed to June 2023.
