Information about hospital waiting times
The Welsh Government previously committed to providing better information to people in Wales on actual waiting times across NHS Wales alongside a commitment to reduce wait times.
We are pleased to confirm that the Wales NHS 111 website now provides information on waiting times by speciality at each health board. Whilst this doesn’t tell individuals where they are on the
waiting list, it does provide up to date information on the range of current waiting times for the speciality and health board for which they are waiting.
Anyone an access this information from the 111 website, and we would encourage those waiting for a hospital appointment to take a look at the current waiting times as a means of managing expectations and concerns around waiting time.
The information is updated monthly and provides additional information to support people whilst they are waiting, and is a very useful tool in helping patients understanding of the position.
