| Aneurin Bevan Health Board has an ambitious and challenging agenda to ensure we are: |
| * * * | Working with you for a healthier community Caring for you when you need us Aiming for excellence in all that we do |
| Aneurin Bevan Health Board serves an estimated population of over 639,000, approximately 21% of the total Welsh population. During 2011/12: |
| * | Outpatient waiting times in orthopaedics were reduced, with 90% of patients waiting fewer than 12 weeks for an appointment. More patients were treated in the Gwent area, as we have orthopaedic operating facilities in Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr. |
| * | We maintained and continued improvements in the services provided for patients who have suffered a stroke. |
| * | Over 70% of patients undergoing surgery were admitted on the day of their surgery - the second highest rate in Wales. This has reduced the overall time patients have to spend in hospital when having surgery. |
| * | We established Chronic Conditions Management (CCM) initiatives to provide better support at home for patients with chronic diseases (heart, lung and diabetes), to reduce the number of times they are admitted to hospital and to support their early discharge if an admission is unavoidable. |
| * | We had the largest reduction in teenage pregnancies in Wales. Health Board Nurses have been trained to provide LARCs (Long Acting Reversible Contraception), eg implants and injections, in Specialist Clinics. We hold 50 clinics a week in 31 locations, all open-access, walk-in services totalling 35,000 consultations across Gwent per year. |
| * | The Medicines Management Programme continued to focus on cost effective prescribing and achieved savings of £3.76m. |
