The Children and Women Clinical Board delivers care across the whole patient pathway and has responsibility for tertiary specialist services, local secondary services and universal and targeted services. These support health, wellbeing, education, development and public health amongst the population of children, young people, parents, families, women and their partners.
This includes national and local partnership family-focused initiatives and safeguarding priorities. The table below captures the essential services within the Directorates. It is worth noting that some services are provided for the whole of Wales, and this is of particular relevance when considering the strategic importance of Child Health services and the future configuration of services for the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales (NACHFW). Similarly, when considering service change, WHSSC remains a commissioner of our services on behalf of other LHBs in Wales. There are also services provided on behalf of or in conjunction with local authority partners.
