Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Those two out of the 100 that do test positive and take that little bit longer, does that cause a significant delay in the route through colonoscopy services, or is it just a standard waiting time? Are there problems there? Can something be done to quicken…

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Okay. Thank you, Steve. Just finally, Sharon, you very eloquently put the route of diagnosis at the beginning of the committee and I apologise if I, perhaps, missed part of that. The pre-colonoscopy assessment, I think that’s when you’re referred into the…

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Well, Public Health Wales, Bowel Screening Wales, and the way they work with the health boards, yes.

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
I totally understand that. Thank you. Steve, perhaps if I could ask you about the expansion or the planned expansion of the bowel screening programme. How are you working with Bowel Screening Wales, and what does that look like for the committee? Do you want…

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
I don't want to put you on the spot here, but if the committee were to come back in a year's time, we would see it closer to the average—. I know you can't guarantee the average, but it would be somewhere—

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Thank you for that. They're obviously recruiting, and that's down to a staffing issue. Have they now recruited enough? When will we likely see that get back down to somewhere around the eight and a half—

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Thank you, Chair. Public Health Wales, in their evidence to the committee, have said the average waiting time for colonoscopy services, the first screening, is 8.5 weeks, but one particular health board, their waiting time is 20 weeks. Why is that so…

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Okay. Thank you.

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
I'm grateful for that. But, would you say that there's no need for further research, that you know what the problems are, and it's about applying that solutions-based approach, rather than delving into more? Because they seemed to suggest that—the way I…

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru
Please, Chair, and thank you. Good morning, both. In the previous session—. It links back to the point that Rhun said on the back of the data. You mentioned that you've got audit data, but you don't have the other data—you don't collect the other data. And…

So, again, that research needs to happen and it hasn't. And then—.

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda sefydliadau canser
Okay. That's fine. Thank you. Gerard, in terms of bowel cancer, I think you've mentioned some specific actions to the committee already—GP letters to endorse screening, and so on. But you've also mentioned the personalised approach to screening. Could you…

Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda sefydliadau canser
That's what—. Perhaps you could have a think about that.
2 Chwefror 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda sefydliadau canser
All I'm trying to get at is if—. It's not you; it's the Government. If the data is there, why isn't it being used in a way that is—? Or, do we need to find a way of collecting it and—?
2 Chwefror 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda sefydliadau canser
I'm not trying to catch you out. I'm just saying—
2 Chwefror 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda sefydliadau canser
Can I just pick up on that point? You said the data doesn't tell us. Is that because the data is simply not there, or the data is not being analysed properly or collected properly? We've heard this a few times.
2 Chwefror 2023 , Health and Social Care Committee
Gwasanaethau endosgopi: sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda sefydliadau canser
Thank you, Chair. That leads me on nicely, Katie. You're not the only organisation to recognise inequalities. Gerard has as well, but we've also heard it from the Welsh NHS Confederation, for example. How do we tackle that? You've mentioned public awareness…

Thanks, Chair. Gerard, you mentioned that the data is most comparable in July through to September. Does that mean that the nations are using data differently?
