In May 2005 the principal external review bodies inspecting, regulating and auditing health and social care in Wales agreed a set of objectives and practices (A Concordat) to support the improvement of services for patients, service users and carers and to eliminate any unnecessary burdens of external review.
The Concordat, which is a voluntary set agreement between autonomous external review bodies, was published on the 12th May 2005.
The Concordat is available to download through the link below. You may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader (external link) to view these files.

Seventeen key external reviewers of health and social care in Wales who are all members of the Wales Concordat have today published a report to confirm their progress in collaborative working.
The Mental Health Act Commission was disbanded on 31st March, as part of the establishment of the new Care Quality Commission in England. Its functions in Wales have been returned to Welsh Ministers and will be undertaken on their behalf by Healthcare Inspectorate Wales.
The Concordat for the Inspection, Regulation and Audit of Health and Social Care in Wales together with the Corporate Health Information Programme has developed information sharing tools that will assist signatories in making better use of information.
