Question
What steps is the Welsh Government taking to ensure that in 2022 and beyond all cystic fibrosis patients in the care of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board will be able to access support and an assessment from a clinical psychologist at their annual review?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
Cystic Fibrosis services provided by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board have worked hard to maintain access to psychology services over the last two years and have offered virtual services in addition to the assessments as part of patients’ annual review.
There have been some staff changes within the services and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is actively recruiting into the current vacancy and intends to appoint someone shortly.
