Cataract policy

The request was successful.

Dear Cwm Taf Local Health Board,

1. What is your current policy on cataract surgery. In particular the criteria used to decide:
•when a patient is eligible for surgery
•whether the patient can have surgery in both eyes if they have a cataract in both

2. What is the longest waiting time for referral to treatment time for cataract surgery in your health board?

3. At the end of May 2012, how many patients do you have currently waiting longer than 26 weeks for cataract surgery?

Yours faithfully,

Andy Williams
