I thank the Member for his follow-up questions, which I recognise. We think that, unfortunately, about 350 people in Hywel Dda wait too long, past the target time. So, we are aware that there is a definite problem within the Hywel Dda health board area. In terms of what’s caused that, there’s a combination of issues, as is almost always the case. Some of this is about short-term staffing measures—for example, there’s been a period of sickness and there’s been a period of maternity cover, as well, which has caused a challenge.

It’s also about getting the right staff mix as well for the future. So, within the conversation that’s being developed with the health board and stakeholders, they’re looking for audiology posts—so it isn’t all just about the consultant end of the workforce. The good news for yourself and other Members in Hywel Dda health board area is that there are going to be interviews taking place within the next month, and we expect that people will then start in the new year, which will help to address the backlog, both for the first appointment and the second or follow-up appointments that you mentioned as well. Part of the work we’re doing on the ENT plan is that we’re actually looking at how we have some sensible measures for understanding both first and second appointments, so there may be some changes that I think would be helpful, both in terms of scrutiny and the ability to understand what is going on. The other element is actually the building work that is taking place in Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli. That’s a cause of some of the challenge we have, but—the honest answer is—not all of it. So, we should now be in a better position to address the backlog, with the staff coming on board and the completion of those capital works as well.
