Question
What action is the Welsh Government taking to improve access to NHS vasectomies for patients in North Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
It is the responsibility of local health boards, in this case, Betsi Cadwaladr UHB, to provide services that meet the needs of their local population. I expect all patients to be seen as quickly as possible and in order of their clinical priority.
I have recently published the Planned Care Recovery Plan, which sets out our approach to reduce waiting times in Wales so that patients get the care and treatment they deserve. The plan is supported by a recurrent investment of £170 million.
