Health Minister pays more than just lip service to oral health
Hywel Dda Health Board | Health Minister pays more than just lip service to oral health
Health Minister Lesley Griffiths has launched a package of care which will standardise and improve oral health in hospitals across Wales.
During a visit to Llandudno Hospital, the Minister welcomed the development of the Mouth Care Bundle, which has been developed as a result of the findings from the 2009/10 All Wales Fundamentals of Care audit tool report.
Although the 2010 audit showed there had been improvements to standards across Wales, the Chief Nursing Officer for Wales established a multi-disciplinary working group to address the outstanding issues, and this resulted in the development of the All Wales Mouth Care Bundle.
The mouth care bundle is based on best practice and will ensure every patient in NHS Wales will receive the highest standard of mouth care and advice.
