Purpose of the consultation
The
Health,
Social Care and Sport Committee
welcomed your views on endoscopy services in Wales.
Terms of reference:
- Earlier diagnosis, specifically the introduction of the Faecal
Immunochemical Test (FIT) into the bowel screening programme and the
recently announced change to age range.
- Diagnostic service capacity and waiting times, including
the extent to which capacity constraints are driving the recommendation to
set the FIT threshold for its introduction to the bowel screening
programme at a relatively insensitive level.
- The long term and sustainable solutions to the
challenges that exist within endoscopy services in Wales, including how
data on diagnostic staffing pressures is being used to inform decisions
about current and future workforce planning.
- Consideration of other early diagnosis interventions and
innovation, such as the introduction of FIT testing by general
practitioners in symptomatic patients to reduce referral for diagnostic
tests.
- Efforts being taken to increase uptake of the bowel
screening programme.
The
deadline for responses was 5 November 2018.
