Does the Welsh Government hold information on where in Wales there is the greatest concentration of people unable to access digital health services?

Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services | Answered on 20/02/2024

The Welsh Government does not hold data on where people are the least able to access digital health services specifically.

However, the National Survey for Wales 2022-23 has identified that 7% of adults aged 16 and over living in Wales do not personally use the internet and are digitally excluded. Those most likely to be digitally excluded include older people (32% of those aged 75 and over), disabled people (10%) and those living in social housing (12%). Geographically, the National Survey for Wales has identified Isle of Anglesey (15%), Swansea (13%) and Powys (10%) as having the highest rates of people who do not personally use the internet.
