North Wales Regional Quality Assurance Group

Meet the Chair

The North Wales QA group is chaired by Lisa Parry of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

Lisa has worked with the WASPI Framework since its inception, is an active member of the All Wales WASPI Service Management Board, and has taken a keen interest in the outputs of the group since its foundation.

The QA Group provides a level of assurance that any information sharing protocols organisations are signing up to have been reviewed by individuals within experience in Information Governance.

The North Wales QA group is responsible for:

Strategic Signoff: Granting the final assurance and approval of regional ISPs so that they can be used by partners in their region.

Local intelligence: Identifying if a proposed data flow fits existing local arrangements or strategic partnerships.

Maintaining Trust: Acting as the guardians of public trust by ensuring sharing is transparent and proportionate for the citizens in their area.
