This report outlines the work carried out by Antenatal Screening Wales between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2022. This summary report highlights the team’s achievements and gives us an opportunity to reflect on what has been accomplished through close working with colleagues across Wales, and explains the wide range of work undertaken for the eight antenatal screening programmes.
Antenatal Screening Wales was established following a request from the Welsh Government to set policies, standards and a performance management framework for antenatal screening provided by maternity services in Wales. Health boards are responsible for delivering screening in line with the policies, standards and protocols as part of routine antenatal care.
The report covers the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, when continuation of antenatal screening was agreed due to the time-sensitive nature of the tests offered. For antenatal services, there was a comprehensive response from all agencies across local, regional and national health and care systems to ensure that all services could continue to be delivered. The Antenatal Screening Wales team adapted to the urgent need to support Public Health Wales in its emergency response while continuing to work with health boards to ensure that antenatal screening services could be provided safely and effectively.
