The Health Board has been allocated funds this year to deliver the upon Welsh Government (WG) targets with regards to referral to treatment times (RTT) and reducing waiting list initiatives (WLI).

Also, experience of assessing patient willingness to travel has strongly indicated that closer locations will likely have a higher uptake. The Health Board require an outsourced package for an estimated volume of up to 85 cases for ENT procedures.
