Sut mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio gyda Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda i leihau nifer y plant sy'n aros am asesiad anhwylder sbectrwm awtistiaeth?
All health boards are reducing waiting times for children’s neurodevelopmental assessments. As a result of service transformation and additional investment of £3m, an extra 2,166 assessments were carried out between January and March 2025. We have eliminated four-year waits across Wales. While progress has been made, we must go further and faster because families and children continue to wait too long for an assessment.
As I set out in a written statement on 27 June, I am re-orientating the Neurodivergence Improvement Programme in 2025-26 to sustain and accelerate further reductions. I am setting the target of eliminating all three-year waits by March 2026, but many health boards will be able to achieve lower waiting times as a result. Hywel Dda University Health Board will receive £980,000 to undertake this work.
NHS Performance and Improvement will be working alongside each health board to agree their waiting list reduction and transformation plans and I will closely monitor progress.
