📢 104 WEEKS WAITING FOR SURGERY – HAVE YOU BEEN AFFECTED?

Better Lives in Powys (BLIP) is holding a drop-in at Builth Wells Library to talk about the 104-week waiting policy affecting Powys patients who need planned surgery in English hospitals.

Powys residents can now face up to 104 weeks waiting for planned surgery – potentially twice as long as patients from England being treated in the same hospitals.

We want to hear from local people who have been affected.

📍 Builth Wells Library
📅 Thursday 24th September
⏰ 10am–1pm

Come along to:

💬 Share your experience
📋 Find out more about the 104-week policy
🤝 Talk to the BLIP team
📣 Help us make sure Powys patients' voices are heard

No appointment needed – just drop in and have a chat.

💙 Powys patients deserve fair and timely access to healthcare.
