Question
What data does the Welsh Government hold on the number of Welsh speakers living with aphasia following a stroke in each health board area?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Health and Care (Mabon ap Gwynfor)
The Welsh Government does not centrally hold or collect specific data on the exact number of Welsh speakers living with aphasia following a stroke.
While the Welsh Government tracks general stroke admissions and performance measures through the NHS Wales Performance and Improvement, individual patient clinical sub-categories, such as aphasia combined with specific language profiles like Welsh-language proficiency, are managed at the local health board level rather than recorded in central national datasets.
