Description: There are only 1.97 consultant ophthalmologists per 100,000 population in Wales, falling far below the recommended 3 per 100,000. Wales still lacks a fully functioning electronic patient record and referral system, and many eye care facilities are outdated and unsafe, with reports of leaking roofs and broken equipment causing treatment delays.
