4 Chwefror 2026Health and Social Care Committee
Sesiwn graffu gyffredinol gydag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol, y Gweinidog Plant a Gofal Cymdeithasol a’r Gweinidog Iechyd Meddwl a Llesiant.
Well, without trying the patience of the Chair, I wasn't saying it to an average person, I was saying it to a former Chair of this committee, and I would expect that Chair to understand how the data is being collated.

I'll do more than say I've accepted it. I've said in the Chamber specifically that there are patients from Powys, for example, in hospitals in England, who are waiting for more than two years, and I regard that as no less acceptable than if they're waiting…

They'll be captured in the data for other health board providers and for providers outside Wales.

Well, from a provider point of view, there's nobody waiting for more than two years, which is the point I've made, I think, a number of times to you.

I don't want to exhaust the patience of the committee Chair, but I have explained many, many times how the statistics work in this area. So, I'll take this one opportunity, if I may, to put it on the record once again. We will all be aware that waiting times…

I'm sure that's a challenge for us all, Chair, but 'yes' is the answer.

The timescales for some of them—not all of them—obviously weren't met. So, in that sense, that's disappointing. But I guess, from a lessons learned point of view, would you go back and say we'd have much less ambitious targets? I'm not sure what the rationale…

I think it's very important when you're trying to recover from the situation that health services everywhere were facing in 2019, 2020, 2021 around COVID, that you have ambitious targets for recovery because the system responds, I think, to that level of…

Well, the budgets needed for those types of interventions are significantly lower than the budgets we've had to put in this year and last year. So, I'm confident the budget provides for that, certainly.

Okay. I think the answer to that is this, really: as a result of the investment we've made and the changed approach that we brought about, I don't envisage that the totality of that will be required next year in order to continue the level of performance that…

Okay. I think I will, if I may, Chair, write to the committee with the detail in response. Just as a headline point, just to link the two points we've just been discussing, I was reflecting last year, when we were talking about putting an extra £120 million…

My own view is that the approach that I think needs to continue is one where you're looking at both the size of the list and the timeliness of care, recognising the benefits of a central approach to additional capacity coming onstream, a rigorous focus on…

Well, I think, it isn't—. I know this isn't the point you're putting, but, just for clarity, it isn't simply a question of more activity; it's about what you're doing, obviously, as well. There are certainly things that—. I'm not a clinician. I'm surrounded…

I'm confident of that, certainly. So, what we are seeing is the system being able to make faster progress with the backlog, so it's needing to spend less time on the backlog and then it's able to see more patients, in turn. So, that's the general picture…

Yes. The question of capacity comes in different ways. So, there's the core capacity of the NHS and there's the additional capacity, both within the NHS and then additional capacity that is being procured from outside the NHS. So, there are different kinds of…

Just to be clear, that will have been a 25 per cent increase [Correction: 'decrease'] in the size of the waiting list.

There are two 200,000 figures, unhelpfully. So, the first is the number of extra out-patient appointments that we're making. I can tell you that, as of the end of January, 145,000 of those had been delivered already and an extra 45,000 had been booked for…

Just to be slightly challenging in response to your question, increasing activity alone is not what we've been doing, of course. I'll just unpack that a little bit if I may. What we've seen over the last seven months, I think, at this point, is, for example…

Chair, I was not being critical. I was just drawing attention to the fact that, an hour into a conversation about health, we hadn't yet raised it.

Wel, rydych chi'n gofyn cwestiwn cysyniadol, onid ydych chi: yw ymddygiad unigolyn yn gallu effeithio ar ganlyniad? Wel, wrth gwrs, mae hynny'n gallu digwydd. Dyw e ddim yn addas gwneud sylwad ar yr hyn rydych chi wedi ei ddweud heddiw. Mae manylion y pethau…

Dwi ddim yn credu bod hyn yn awgrymu problem ddiwylliannol. Mae pob un o'r heriau rydych chi wedi'u gosod allan yn bwysig, wrth gwrs. Byddwch chi'n deall bod y sefyllfa sydd y tu cefn i bob un o'r adroddiadau hynny yn llawer mwy cymhleth, efallai, na'r hyn…

Yes. I'm confident that we have the plans in place, the funding is following and that that is capable of being delivered. But these are not small challenges, as the committee will obviously appreciate. One example, which I haven't touched on, and we haven't…
