P-04-560 Provision of IBD Services in Wales
We, the undersigned, call upon National Assembly for Wales to
encourage the Welsh Government to continue its commitment to improving
standards of treatment and care for people with Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative
Colitis, through the development of a gastroenterology delivery plan. This will
ensure that people with these conditions receive the highest standards of care
wherever they are in Wales."
Additional information - Standards of care for people with
Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis have improved in Wales, following the launch of
the Standards for the Healthcare of People who have Inflammatory Bowel Disease
(IBD) in the Welsh Assembly in 2009. However, an independent audit of IBD care
has shown that quality has not risen as quickly as other UK countries.
There is therefore a need to encourage further improvement
through the development of a Gastroenterology Delivery Plan, which will address
variation and ensure that basic standards of treatment are being met.
