Data notes

Overview

• Summary of dataset and variables:

  This dataset shows the number of outpatient appointments for ophthalmology in Wales. It includes new appointments, follow-up attendances, and pre-operative assessments, broken down by Health Board and financial year. The dataset presents how outpatient activity for eye care services varies across health boards and over time.

• Data collection or calculation:

  This dataset presents outpatient activity data on a Welsh provider basis, which includes activity provided by Welsh organisations and data submitted by English organisations for patients registered with a Welsh GP. This differs from the wider StatsWales outpatient data, which is presented on a Welsh activity basis—that is, outpatient activity carried out at hospital sites in Wales. The latter includes activity performed by English organisations in Welsh hospitals but excludes activity carried out in England for Welsh residents or organisations. The data received includes counts of new, follow-up, and pre-operative appointments by health board and year. These are also summed to give total appointment counts for each area and year.

• Statistical quality:

  On 1 April 2019, health service responsibility for Bridgend residents moved from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg to Cwm Taf. Health board names also changed: Cwm Taf became Cwm Taf Morgannwg, and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg became Swansea Bay. See the weblinks section for official statements.
