Ateb
Atebwyd gan Minister for Health and Social Services
We expect NHS services to refer people with suspected bladder cancer for urgent investigation in line with the referral criteria set out by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The NHS in Wales has also introduced Rapid Diagnostic Centres to support GPs when they suspect cancer, but the presenting symptoms are vague. In addition, Health Education and Improvement Wales has rolled out digital training support to all GP computers in Wales on cancer symptom identification and referral practice.
