Gynaecological cancers: Panel 8
Is it just that it's not specific enough to delve into a person's ethnic background? Is it just, 'It's either a man or a woman'? Is it quite polarised in that sense, or is there scope to look deeper into it and see how we can enhance that data on a better…

Do they tend to just be gender based on that aspect then?

And how equitable is access to early palliative care, bearing in mind that people from black and Asian minorities and different races, religions, et cetera—? How equitable and accessible is it in that sense?

Yes. Do you think that comes down to, sometimes—. Because, naturally, our default method, sometimes—. We're generally quite glass-half-full minded, aren't we? Do you think that's a factor, with men and women saying, 'Actually, I'm hoping that there could be…

Thanks, Chair. Is there—. Sorry, I'll start again. Are women accepting early palliative care referrals, and is there data to say that there could be better steps to improving that referral process into palliative care, and ways to encourage women to accept…

Yes, and is there evidence—

Thank you, Chair. I'm going to ask my first question in Welsh, just looking at early palliative care. It can be initiated at any point during a patient's journey and can include the psychological, social, financial, and spiritual aspects of care. What's your…

Thanks. And just finally, if I may, we've heard a lot in evidence in previous sessions about the fact that women are being diagnosed with late-stage gynaecological cancers after being admitted to hospital after a visit to A&E. What scope is there for A&E data…

Gynaecological cancers: Panel 7
Thanks. I'll just bring my questions back up. But, looking in terms of equity, obviously, we saw an article on 21 June on the BBC that a black man wasn't included in some of that cancer data. Looking into that equity strategy for improving that uptake, do you…

Diolch. With looking at the data between the different types of cancers, and especially between genders—and we look at gynaecological cancers in women and then, for example, we look at prostate and testicular cancers in men in particular as well—are there any…

Thank you, Chair, and good morning, all—Dyfed and Helen also. This is a question to Dyfed this morning. When will the national cancer diagnosis audit take place, and will the data be disaggregated by type of gynaecological cancer? Because, currently, it…
