Health and Social Care<br />
Working <strong>with</strong> Pippa Anderson and Kateryna<br />
Onishchenko from Swansea University’s<br />
Centre for Health Economics, we published rapid<br />
evidence reviews of international experiences of<br />
prioritisation of elective surgery and conditional<br />
entitlements to healthcare. Our reports concluded<br />
that approaches tried elsewhere do not offer simple<br />
solutions to the funding gap in the Welsh NHS<br />
and evidence from other countries suggested that<br />
conditional entitlements have an adverse effect on the<br />
poorest households.<br />
We published an analysis of the resilience of the care<br />
home market in Wales by the Institute of Public<br />
Care. The report by Professor Keith Moultrie and<br />
Nic Rattle concluded that Wales is less dependent<br />
than England on large scale providers and so is less<br />
vulnerable to a Southern Cross style crisis. However<br />
the number of sole owners approaching retirement<br />
raises questions about future provision in some parts<br />
of the country and we recommended a range of<br />
practical measures which the Welsh Government, local<br />
authorities and others can take to address this.<br />
