Current Petitions

We are not ready to close the petition and should keep it going. However, quite a lot of progress has been made since the early days when the petition was first presented to us. We could probably still ask questions of the Government—for example, we could get a useful update on the development of work arising from the seminar on individual patient treatment requests that was held on 11 May and on the development of the good practice guidance for health boards. We could also seek an update on the progress that health boards are making in developing policies following the chief executive letter on 17 May and on whether any boards have such policies in place ahead of the deadline, which is spring next year. That would be a start.
