Will the Cabinet Secretary set out how the £120 million to help cut waiting times cited in the Cabinet Secretary's statement on the 19 June 2025 will benefit Powys patients who are on a waiting list in England?
Powys Teaching Health Board will receive funding to provide more than 600 additional outpatient appointments in Powys as part of its share of the funding to reduce the overall waiting list by 200,000.
Powys residents, who are waiting to be seen in other Welsh health boards, will also benefit from the additional funding. As of April 2025, there were 380 outpatient pathways from Powys waiting more than 52 weeks at other Welsh health boards.
This additional funding to support our ambitious plan to continue reducing long waits and the overall size of the waiting list is targeted at Welsh health board waiting lists.
