Welsh Cardiac Rehabilitation Working Group Denise Lewis, Chair Llinell Union/Direct Line 01970 635327 Ffacs Cyfrinachol/Confidential Fax 01970 635741 E-bost/ E-mail [email protected] Ein Cyf/Our Ref DL / LWH/001 26 April 2006 Mr Brian Gibbons Health Minister Welsh Assembly Government Cardiff Bay CARDIFF CF99 1NA Dear Mr Gibbons The All Wales Cardiac Rehabilitation Relay Walk, 8th - 14th September 2006. Cardiac Rehabilitation is an integral component of Cardiac Care as identified within the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease. The Cardiac Rehabilitation teams across Wales have had a proven beneficial effect on long term health prospects for cardiac patients providing comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation programmes that are of high quality, accessible and part of local communities, meeting the requirements set within Design for Life. Unfortunately, due to resources available there is inequity in the delivery of services across Wales and many of the programmes have only been able to develop through the support of short term funding from Inequalities in Health and the Big Lottery Funds. As this support draws to an end these services are under threat of closure. In order to raise awareness of the concerns this presents to teams, patients and communities, the need for funding and the proven need for Cardiac Rehabilitation Schemes across Wales, Cardiac Rehabilitation teams from across Wales are drawing together to walk from North to South Wales, a distance of approximately 135 miles, starting at Chirk and ending at the Assembly buildings in Cardiff Bay. A paper will be carried and passed between teams outlining the main concerns and signatures of support. We would like to invite you to meet the teams at the end of this walk at the Assembly buildings and to accept this paper. Yours sincerely Denise Lewis Chair Welsh Cardiac Rehabilitation Working Group
