Question
How many people in Powys have been waiting longer than one year for an outpatient appointment?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
In November 2025 there were no patient pathways provided by Powys Teaching Health Board waiting longer than one year for a first outpatient appointment or two years for NHS treatment.
Some pathways for Powys residents are provided by other health boards in Wales. In November 2025, there were 40 pathways for Powys residents provided by other health boards which were waiting longer than one year for a first outpatient appointment, and 185 waiting longer than two years for treatment.
Some Powys residents have pathways provided by NHS England trusts. The Welsh Government does not hold data on these pathways.
The number of patient pathways is not the same as the number of individual patients, because some people have multiple open pathways.
