General description

The information presented here shows the number of new and follow up outpatient appointments for ophthalmology.

Data collection and calculation

Note that this data does not match the wider StatsWales data for Outpatient activity, as the data presented here is on a Welsh provider basis, which includes activity provided by Welsh organisations and data submitted by English organisations with records for patients who are registered with a Welsh GP. The StatsWales data however is presented on a Welsh activity basis (i.e. the outpatient activity carried out at hospital sites in Wales, which includes activity carried out by English organisations in Welsh hospitals and excludes activity carried out in England for Welsh residents or organisations).
1st April 2019 health service provision for residents of Bridgend local authority moved from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg to Cwm Taf. For more information see the joint statement from Cwm Taf and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Boards (see weblinks). The health board names have changed with Cwm Taf University Health Board becoming Cwm Taf Morganwg University Health Board and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board becoming Swansea Bay University Health Board. A link to the statement from the minister for health and social service can be found in the weblinks section.
