Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm whether Green Light laser technology treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia is available in all health boards across Wales - and, if not, whether he has plans to make it available to all patients?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services | Answered on 09/02/2018
Green light laser technology is available to patients in three health boards across Wales – Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Hywel Dda University Health Board
Those health boards that do not have green light laser machines offer an alternative treatment using holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) which is just as efficient as other surgical options including green light laser.
