Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary provide the total number of Powys residents currently waiting longer than one year for a first outpatient appointment, irrespective of whether they are being treated in Powys, another Welsh health board, or by an English provider?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Data in relation to those waiting for appointments and treatment are published by the Welsh Government on the basis of provider, rather than residency. However, residence-based referral to treatment (RTT) figures are currently published by health boards through their quarterly board reports.
The latest available figures for Powys are for November 2025 and are published at the following link:
