New data on how local health services across Wales are performing will be easily accessible due to action by the Welsh Government.
The website, mylocalhealthservice.wales.gov.uk, was launched by the Welsh Assembly’s executive in September to provide performance data on a range of health services. It will now include:
- Performance by GP practice on their care of patients with asthma, diabetes, dementia, atrial fibrillation, coronary heart disease and stroke.
- GP practices opening hours and appointment times at Health Board level, including appointments offered before 8.30am and appointments offered in the evening.
- Mortality data at district general hospital level.
- An improved user interface making it easier to access information.
- The website already includes data for a range of healthcare quality measures for health boards and will continue to be developed with monthly new data uploads.
Those interested can find out more at http://ylocalhealthservice.wales.gov.uk.
