Equalities and health impacts

Changing health and care services will affect all of us living in the Hywel Dda area regardless of age, sex, disability (physical, mental health and learning disabilities), race, religion, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, or pregnancy and maternity status. We must ensure that our proposals are fair to all and take particular care to consider people who are vulnerable. We have already engaged with groups representing vulnerable people and will continue to do so to ensure they are involved throughout our consultation.

We have produced what is called an Equality & Health Impact Assessment (EHIA) for the whole of our programme business case, which includes delivery of our new Urgent and Planned Care Hospital.

The EHIA, includes an overview of the potential positive and negative impacts on people, and how we will mitigate them and address our equality duties. The document is used to help decision makers when considering future developments.

The document will be continually updated as we learn more and is available in full by visiting our Technical Documents section (opens in new window) . If you would like further detailed information, this can be obtained by contacting: inclusion.hdd@wales.nhs.uk
