Access to medical technologies in Wales

MT ToR 2 – Phil Fairclough

I have been made aware of this consultation by Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Community Health Council.

Whilst I am a member of this organisation please accept these as my personal comments.

I am most concerned regarding the lack of access to Psychological Therapies on the NHS-there is now an 18 month waiting list compared to a 6 month wait when I needed to see a Counsellor/Clinical Psychologist about 5 years ago.  

I feel this degradation of services unacceptable and something which should be addressed urgently.

I hope you find these comments useful.

Regards,

Phil Fairclough.
