The information presented here shows the number and percentage of band 1 examinations that were claimed through Wales General Ophthalmic Services (WGOS) 2 scheme by reason of attendance. Prior to 2023-24, similar services to WGOS 2 were offered through Eye Health Examination Wales (EHEW).Data collection and calculation
More than one reason may be recorded per claim. Therefore the sum of Band 1 examinations by reason for attendance would not equal the overall number of Band 1 examinations.Other reasons for attendance (not included in the data) include patient has retinitis pigmentosa, is at risk of eye disease due to family history, is at risk of eye disease due to ethnic background, needs investigations to comply with WG agreed protocols/guidelines.
Data is sourced from ophthalmic payments systems, maintained by primary care services in NHS Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP).
