DEPUTY health minister and Vale AM Vaughan Gething has launched a consultation on a new plan to reduce the number of people who die each year from liver disease in Wales.
Chronic liver disease deaths have more than doubled in the last 20 years.
The draft Together For Health – Liver Disease Delivery Plan, sets out how the Welsh Government and NHS Wales will develop and improve services for people with liver disease in Wales.
The draft plan provides the guidance and standards the NHS Wales will need to follow to ensure patients receive excellent care, whether through prevention, timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment or continuing support.
