Annual reports

Each year HIW publishes an annual report setting out our key findings from the regulation, inspection and review of healthcare services in Wales.

Annual Report 2024 - 2025

Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) has published its Annual Report for 2024-2025, offering a clear and independent assessment of healthcare services across Wales. The report draws attention to a system under sustained pressure, where dedicated staff continue to deliver good care in difficult conditions, but where risks to patient safety persist, and improvement is not always sustained.
