Question
What assessment has the Welsh Government made of whether it is on course to meet its target of ensuring that 97 per cent of patient pathways are waiting less than two years, by the end of the calendar year?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
The December 2023 data showed that 96.9% of pathways in Wales were waiting under two years. Five health boards exceeded the target with Swansea Bay showing a continued improvement and Betsi Cadwallader remaining the same. January data showed a continued improvement, with more than 97% waiting less than two years in six out of the seven health boards, and all Wales figure standing at 96.9%
