Welsh Affairs Committee: Cross-border healthcare arrangements between England and Wales

Committee hears from witnesses

The Welsh Affairs Committee will hear oral evidence on how healthcare services are arranged and delivered across the England-Wales border. This covers practical questions about patient access, NHS co-ordination, and service provision in areas where people routinely cross the border for treatment. The inquiry examines whether current arrangements work efficiently or whether reforms are needed.

Cross-border healthcare affects hundreds of thousands of patients in border regions who depend on services from both nations' NHS systems. Poor co-ordination can delay treatment, duplicate tests, or leave patients without clear access to care. The findings may influence how the Labour government and Welsh Government align health policy in these areas.
