Welsh Lib Dem Spokesperson for Health, Jenny Randerson AM has welcomed Edwina Hart's decision not to establish an All Wales Mental Health commissioning body but has warned the Minister that she must now deliver on mental health services.
Jenny Randerson said: "I agree that there were persuasive arguments for a single body but that on balance it would not have been a good idea.
"I was concerned it would create complexity, confusion and increased bureaucracy. The inclusion of learning disabilities would have caused confusion in the minds of the public and patients.
"The Minister must now deliver for mental health. We must be able to see where services sit within the new structure, which must provide clear lines of accountability and funding in a much more transparent way."
