Working practices between the UK and Welsh Assembly governments in relation to cross-border policies appear much improved since the Committee's earlier reports on this subject. But a number of outstanding issues remain in transport, health and further and higher education. On transport the Committee welcomes the planned electrification of the Great Western Main Line. However, the Department for Transport appears to have washed its hands of any strategic responsibility for cross-border roads. The A483 is the clearest example of a road vital for travel within Wales but which is not important to the English region in which it is located, and as a result loses out on funding. The Committee stresses the need for comparative data on which to build solid research comparing NHS performance in the devolved nations. More needs to be done to raise public awareness of the differences in services people can expect to receive on both sides of the border. Transparency of information is vital. Research proposals in the UK Government's Higher Ambitions strategy for higher education make no reference to nations other than England, despite the UK-wide research remit of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. The Committee calls for details about how research funding proposals apply to all four nations.

The Welsh Affairs Committee predicts the development of a downward spiral if Welsh higher education continues to receive proportionately less core funding than English institutions and a smaller relative share of UK research funding, resulting in a negative impact on the Welsh economy. The Committee also calls for more effective communication between government departments and the Welsh Assembly Government over further and higher education policy. In order for more higher education institutions to achieve research success and compete effectively, the Committee recommends that the UK Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills makes available a specific allocation of research funds to develop research capacity in economically deprived areas. However, it acknowledges that it will be harder to attract research funding if the core funding gap continues. It is imperative that the UK Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills consults fully with the Welsh Assembly Government to identify both the territorial extent and the wider impact of education policies at an early stage, and better protocols and relationships must be established. The Committee is also concerned that further education funding guidance provided by the Learning and Skills Council and the Welsh Assembly Government is unhelpful and inappropriate in relation to cross-border recruitment, and it urges authorities to encourage ease of access across borders and to ensure provision is driven by learner and employer choice.

This inquiry has studied the cross-border connectivity of the Welsh transport network, including road, rail and air travel. The economic benefits of connectivity, both in the movement of people and of goods, are important: the Welsh economy is sustained and developed by links across the border. Responsibility for transport policy is fragmented with the Department for Transport, Welsh Assembly Government and local authorities involved, and there is a lack of policy co-ordination between these parties. Fragmentation is a feature of all the areas studied during this inquiry. In rail, improvement schemes are too often evaluated only on their local benefits, rather than strategically across a wider region. There is significant scope for greater co-ordination of the different rail franchises. On the road network, works are being held back by a failure to plan projects at a strategic level. Finally, the potential economic benefits of existing air services are not being maximised because airports, local authorities and Visit Wales are not working with a common purpose. The Committee concludes that the effectiveness of the cross-border transport network is being hampered by a lack of co-ordination and a failure to insulate strategic UK and EU priorities from regional interests.

Given the divergence in health policy between England and Wales, and the significant number of patients who cross the border for treatment, the Welsh Affairs Committee examined the interface between the two systems and the effectiveness of co-ordination between the Department for Health and the Welsh Assembly Government. It wanted to discover whether cross-border patients are treated fairly and whether the Welsh Assembly Government and the Department of Health consider the border in the development of the diverging policy environment. The Committee was aware of significant confusion amongst patients, for example in knowing what they are entitled to receive from their health service and that cross-border providers were being disadvantaged by the need to cope with two separate funding and commissioning schemes. The Committee's interim report on this topic (HC 870, session 2007-08, ISBN 9780215521682) concluded that four key criteria should be established in cross-border health policy: clinical excellence as close to home as possible; border-proofing of policy and practice; cross-border citizen engagement; and transparent and accountable co-operation between localities, regions and governments. This report returns to these key criteria. The Committee is very disappointed that a protocol on cross-border health services has not been agreed, further evidence of a clear lack of co-ordination between the UK and Welsh Assembly governments and which leaves clinicians and administrators in a strained position and risks adversely affecting patients as a result of cross-border commissioning and funding problems. Better information for patients must be provided. The Committee finds the Department of Health's delay in responding to its interim report until some 6 months after publication to be unacceptable.
