I am writing to ask if Public Health Wales collects data on people treated for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) nationally via the 7 regional health boards?
Thank you for your request dated 6th October 2023.
Public Health Wales does not hold this information.
Public Health Wales is the public health service for Wales and as such is an independent NHS Trust. Therefore, do not have access to this information. As an organisation we have no jurisdiction over the activities of Health Boards and frequently do not have access to the data that they produce. I have provided contact details for each Health Board below, you would need to contact them individually for this information.
