Notice Description

Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) has awarded a contract following the successful completion of a VEAT notice. The provider will establish and embed a whole system approach to climate adaptation and consider how the Health Board will mitigate the risks and impacts of climate change and climate events into population health strategies and broader Health Board service delivery, aligned to and enabling the work already being undertaken on decarbonisation.
