Cancelled Operations
Dear Hywel Dda University Health Board,
I would be grateful if you could give me some information on the following questions about cancelled operations.
1. In the last four years (2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19), how many operations were cancelled at the Health Board's request and through no fault of the patient?
2. If possible, can you break these down by service or speciality?
Yours faithfully,
Bleddyn ap Dafydd

Dear FOI Hywel Dda (Hywel Dda UHB - Freedom of Information),
I write about the delay in a response to my FOI about cancelled operations. I was promised the information by the 25th August, however I've not received it yet. As I have received replies from all of the other Health Boards, I would be grateful if this could be rectified with the utmost urgency.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Bleddyn ap Dafydd
