What plans does the Minister have to collect and monitor data on the number of people with suspected inflammatory bowel disease who are waiting for diagnostic endoscopy appointments?
Ateb
Atebwyd gan Minister for Health and Social Services
The Welsh Government does not intend to collect or publish data on diagnostic gastrointestinal endoscopy broken down by reason for referral.
All health boards in Wales have confirmed they provide general practice with access to the faecal calprotectin test. In addition, the NHS Executive is developing a nationally agreed pathway for the investigation of inflammatory bowel disease which will support the consistent local application of this test.
