Further to WAQ77946 and the increase in the number of patients waiting over 24 weeks for diagnostic endoscopy services to 210 in January, will the Minister explain how the Welsh Government is ensuring that the health board is increasing core capacity levels and implementing solutions?

My officials and the Delivery Unit continue to work alongside the health board to help them understand the demand and capacity requirements going forward.
The health board is developing plans to increase capacity across all three acute sites to ensure all patients are seen in a timely manner.
My officials will continue to monitor progress through their regular performance meetings.
