Question
What steps does the Government intend to take to ensure that patients from Dwyfor Meirionnydd who have to receive treatment in centres that are far from their homes are given an appointment at a time of day that is suitable given the distance they have to travel?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
As part of the appointment process, we expect all appointments to be mutually agreed between the health board and the patient, taking into account any arrangements the patient may have to make in order to attend their appointment. This would include account of travel arrangements.
