Welsh Senedd report finds 'delays in treatment putting thousands at risk of deteriorating sight'

A report by Senedd Cymru/Welsh Parliament has raised concerns that more than 80,000 patients in Wales at greatest risk of permanent sight loss are waiting too long for sight-saving treatment.

You can read the full report, 'Inquiry into ophthalmology services in Wales' here, and there is an overview of the findings on the Senedd website.

The story was the subject of a report by BBC Wales, including a personal story of a patient from Bridgend, which you can read here.
