Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:59 pm on 15 November 2016.
I’ve spoken in this Chamber on a number of occasions about the importance of diagnostic tests. It’s been drawn to my attention by GPs in my constituency that waiting times for endoscopy tests have reached worrying levels over the past few months, with talk of patients having to wait a year and seven months having got to the top of the list. Would the First Minister give a commitment to look at what is happening in terms of endoscopy tests in north-west Wales, to ensure that patients do get appropriate and timely tests and care—tests that can, of course, save lives?
