Great to be at launch of LlaisWales National Conversation which reflects our calls for a conversation on the future of health&social care. Looking forward to working together to get the best outcomes for communities with the enormous demographic and economic challenges ahead.

🗣️Darren Hughes: 'Meeting the health and care needs of the population is a growing challenge. NHS leaders look forward to working with the National Office for Care and Support to improve integration between health and care services, ensuring better outcomes for patients.'

This a great read. I have Neo Blood but had only a vague understanding of what it was. I can’t understand why more people don’t give blood. The day I found out I had special 'neo' blood. bbc.co.uk/news/health-68…

I had a great evening talking to a group of Indian 🇮🇳 politicians about the NHS and politics. This is Mr Rais Shaikh Honourable MLA for the Bhiwandi East Constituency Maharashtra, India. Great to see my old friend Times of India journalist Chaitanya Marpakwar चैतन्य मारपकवार too.

#CWConf23 #FindingSolutions Hearing from Deputy Minister for Social Services Julie Morgan acknowledging the vital and often unseen role of unpaid carers.

Definitely one of those days.

#AgeFriendlyWales Great to hear about good work in Ynys Mon and Swansea. It’s clear that it’s people and communities that make the difference. Either end of Wales facing similar challenges but have tailored solutions supported by government delivered by people.

#AgeFriendlyWales looking forward to learning how we can make Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 age friendly and learning how other countries do it across the world.

As it’s Friday and the beer’s named after the founder of the NHS I thought it’d be rude not to. Thanks to all the NHS and care workers for all you do every day of the week. ⁦

I’m a great believer in making it easier for people to do the right thing. Co-op why can’t I buy alcohol free Guinness GB before 10am on a Sunday? Surely no need for a license for 0% drinks.

The involvement of NHS Wales has enhanced Love British Food's hospital food work enormously this year. Talk about bringing enthusiasm and positivism to the table! Great people to work with Darren Hughes, Aled Guy, Hd of Sustainability & Net Zero Welsh NHS Confederation.

You know, the problem is that healthcare is rapidly becoming unaffordable everywhere. And the more we crave advanced treatments, the more we denude basic care...or create inequities. We deserve honest debate with ourselves.

Thanks to everyone for coming together to better meet the challenges ahead.
