Well, the majority of patients waiting in north Wales are waiting less than 26 weeks, but we do recognise that trauma and orthopaedics is a challenging area, where some of the waiting times are not acceptable. Extra money has been made available to Betsi Cadwaladr local health board in order to reduce waiting times. They are outsourcing some activity now to alternative providers, and we expect to see the situation improve markedly over the course of the next two months.
