General description

This table provides the current data on referral to treatment waiting times for patient pathways waiting (open pathway) by grouped weeks.

Hywel Dda health board has no patients waiting for audiological medicine from January 2019 onwards, this is due to the service moving into the community based model.

Revisions information

Data for patients waiting between September 2011 and November 2018 by their local health board of residence were revised on 21/02/2019. This was due to an error in the calculations used which showed data based on health board provider not patient residence.

Statistical quality

Please find this information in the related statistical release, as per the given weblink.

Due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic all non-urgent outpatient appointments were suspended in March 2020. Meaning, most hospitals had to reduce or suspend the services they offered, which led to an increase in both the lengths of waits and the number of people waiting on patient pathways for the month of April 2020 and subsequent months.
