Your rights to use Welsh

Welsh belongs to everyone in Wales and we all have rights to use the Welsh we have.

As a Health Board, we also know very well that using the language you are comfortable in in the health sector is simply a matter of service quality. Using Welsh is more than a nice-to-have where the opportunity arises; it can make such a difference to our experience of using health services.

We’ve published this short leaflet here on what your rights are to use Welsh in the health sector.

We’ve also summarised how you’re able to use Welsh in the sector below. Just click on the white plus symbol in the blue boxes to expand.

If you’d like to see how we’ve worked over the years to meet these duties, see our ‘Annual Welsh Language Standards Reports’ under ‘Key Documents’ below.
