This is still a developing story, and you've probably already heard of it, and we've been posting our resources on it, along with Queer AF and Claire Proshaw from our gender clinic coverage.
FlintHOST
On August 28th, NHS Wales canceled all gender-affirming surgeries for its patients.
FlintHOST
This is the decision of a committee in NHS Wales called the NWJCC.

And you don't think the acronym's just a little clunky? I don't know.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
It's quite catchy.
FlintHOST
It's horrid.
FlintHOST
It's, it's Hmm.
Ann KempsterGUEST
Um, and, um, Jo Carter, who's not with us tonight, is a service designer, um, and runs, um, training, um, in Wales in service design and has previously worked in local government.

Um, I was thinking about rusty digital systems, and, um, noticed that you were involved with the NHS Wales app.

Amy BellfieldHOST
Very welcome.
Amy BellfieldHOST
So we were just talking before we hit record about how it might be useful for listeners to have a bit of an overview of how NHS Scotland runs and how that might be different to NHS England and NHS Wales.
Amy BellfieldHOST
I don't know if you want to start with that intro.
Paul RobertsonGUEST
Sure, I can't claim to be an expert on how NHS Scotland runs, but I will give you an overview of at least how I understand it to work.
Louise AndersonHOST
I'm Louise Anderson, Regional Support Manager for Wales at Practice Plan.
Louise AndersonHOST
And today we're taking a closer look at how dental practices across Wales are feeling following the NHS contract changes that came into effect in April.
Louise AndersonHOST
It's fair to say that the changes have sparked a lot of conversation throughout the profession.
Louise AndersonHOST
For some practices, they've brought new opportunities, while for others, they prompted questions around sustainability, future plans and what the next few years may look like.
Lauren HarrhyGUEST
As we've talked about in different forums before, there is no piloting for this contract.
Lauren HarrhyGUEST
There was no piloting for the software companies either.
Lauren HarrhyGUEST
or the NHS BSA.
Lauren HarrhyGUEST
So there's been an awful lot of bugs in the system in these first few months that are not fully resolved yet.
