Hospital mortality figures are part of transparency drive
Wales' local health boards have published mortality figures for their hospitals today.
– Mark Drakeford, Health MinisterThe Welsh Government is committed to transparency on performance and to improving access to NHS information. As from today, anyone in Wales can view a measure of hospital mortality.
The data published today add to a range of information available to help us assess the quality of our care.
However, while it provides useful information, it should not be viewed in isolation as a measure of the quality of hospital care. We must use this information to drive up the quality of our care.
