Doctors say new leadership team set up by Eluned Morgan should be independent to improve services.
The Welsh government had pledged to established a national executive for the NHS in 2018 to "speed up decision making and make the system more responsive to national priorities".
It will be made up of a small team, led by NHS chief executive Judith Paget, within Welsh government, to "provide strong leadership and strategic direction - enabling, supporting and directing the NHS in Wales to transform clinical services". "In announcing a "small, strengthened senior team within Welsh government" instead of an independent NHS Wales Executive, the minister for health and social services has missed a huge opportunity to improve patient care and tackle the backlog."
A Welsh Government spokesperson said: "The new NHS Executive team will oversee and direct a much bigger national resource based within the NHS to deliver the ambitious strategies we have set out and to improve services and waiting times - including those referred to by the Royal College of Physicians.
