Will the Cabinet Secretary make a statement on the availability of prostate artery embolisation on the NHS in Wales?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services | Answered on 04/05/2018
Prostate artery embolization is not routinely offered in the NHS in Wales. We expect health boards to provide evidence-based care, following the publication of the NICE guidelines regarding this treatment; I expect health boards to review their pathways accordingly. I have asked the Welsh Urology Board to review the availability of this treatment and to advise health boards accordingly.
