Introduction by the Minister for Health and Social
Services, Edwina Hart AM MBE
The Welsh Health Survey estimates that
approximately 1 in 4 adults have a disability. However
evidence shows that disabled patients can encounter serious
difficulties in accessing services in the Primary Care setting.
This innovative training programme results
from partnership between organisations including the Welsh Assembly
Government, and I am very pleased that we provided funding to
support its development. I believe the training will provide
practitioners, managers and staff with a valuable insight into the
problems that disabled patients regularly experience when accessing
Primary Care services. Understanding the difficulties
encountered by patients with disabilities will enhance your ability
to assess and develop the services you offer and encourage equal
access to Primary Care for all patients.
I strongly believe that equality in General
Medical Services is an important goal that we should all be
striving to achieve. I am committed to improving services for
people with disability and this training project links strongly to
the work we have done and continue to do.
I commend this training course to you, and am
convinced it will make a real contribution to our shared goal of
first class patient care.
