Overview
- Summary of dataset and variables
This dataset shows the number of Wales General Ophthalmic Services (WGOS) 4 appointments in Wales. WGOS 4 is a service where patients who would previously have been referred to/or managed in the Hospital Eye Service (HES) instead remain in primary care for further enhanced assessment as part of an agreed referral refinement or monitoring pathway. The data is broken down by patient age group, broad ethnic group, and selected eye conditions. These breakdowns are presented by health board and financial year. The dataset provides insight into the volume of appointments across different patient groups, conditions, and regions over time.
- Data collection or calculation
The WGOS 4 claims are submitted electronically through Microsoft forms to NHS Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) and uploaded onto their K2 payments system. The data is grouped and counted separately by patient age group, broad ethnic group, and selected eye conditions. Records with missing values in these characteristics are excluded. Counts are aggregated by health board, financial year, and characteristic. The grouped datasets are then combined to form the overall dataset.
- Statistical quality
As Health Boards brought the WGOS 4 services in at varying times, no claims were received from Betsi and Powys up until March 2025 and so they are missing from the data for the financial year 2024-25.
