What We Will Do
Publish the truth. Demand accountability. Build a coalition of supporters. Pursue every legitimate mechanism — disclosures, FOI requests, legal avenues, and sustained public pressure — until the leadership of DHCW changes.
We will bring the truth to light
We will publish evidence of leadership failures, financial waste, and misconduct at DHCW and, where relevant, across NHS Wales. We will do so responsibly, grounding every claim in documented evidence and distinguishing clearly between what is proven from public records and what is alleged in legal proceedings. We will give those we criticise the opportunity to respond. The public has a right to know how their money is being spent and how their healthcare is being affected.
We will map the accountability gaps
We will systematically document and publish the ways in which DHCW's organisational structure prevents external scrutiny — the hidden personnel, the unpublished data, the undisclosed contracts, the vanishing salary records. Where information is withheld, we will use Freedom of Information law to obtain it. Where FOI requests are refused, we will publish the refusal and appeal. The architecture of unaccountability will be made visible.
We will work with the authorities
We are engaging with the bodies responsible for oversight of DHCW and NHS Wales, including the Welsh Government, the Senedd's Health and Social Care Committee, Audit Wales, Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and any other relevant authority. We will present our evidence and press for formal investigation, intervention, and reform. Where wrongdoing reaches the threshold of criminal conduct — including misconduct in public office, fraud, and breaches of health and safety law — we will ensure that the appropriate authorities are made aware.
We will pursue legal accountability
Where the authorities fail to act, or where the scale of wrongdoing demands it, we will pursue accountability through the courts. This includes private civil claims against DHCW and its directors for breaches of duty, and — where the evidence supports it — private prosecution for criminal offences including misconduct in public office. We do not take this step lightly. But when public officers knowingly waste public money, endanger patients, suppress evidence, and retaliate against those who expose their failures, the law exists to hold them accountable, and we intend to use it.
We will build a coalition
We are calling on every person who has witnessed wrongdoing at DHCW or within NHS Wales to come forward. Whether you are a former employee who saw waste and was afraid to speak, a current employee who is living in fear, an NHS professional at a Health Board who has been blocked by DHCW's failures, or a member of the public who has been affected by poor digital healthcare — we want to hear from you.
Your testimony matters. Your evidence matters. And we will protect your identity if you wish it.
We are also reaching out to journalists, researchers, legal professionals, and campaigners who share our commitment to accountability in public service. This is not a fight that any one person or group can win alone. It requires a broad coalition of people who believe that the NHS deserves better leadership than it currently has.
We will advocate for reform
Accountability for past failures is necessary, but not sufficient. We will also advocate for structural reforms to prevent these failures from recurring, including independent technical oversight of major digital programmes, mandatory publication of programme costs and outcomes, genuine protection for whistleblowers backed by independent investigation of retaliation claims, merit-based appointment processes for senior technical roles with independent verification of qualifications, mandatory publication of off-payroll worker identities and costs, and regular, independent audits of DHCW's performance benchmarked against comparable organisations in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
