Auditor general calls for more chronic illness care improvements
Services for patients with chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes need to be improved, says a watchdog.
About a third of the Welsh adult population - 800,000 people - are affected by a chronic condition.
But services were "poorly co-ordinated" despite some improvements, the report by the Wales Audit Office warned.
The Welsh government said it would consider the findings alongside its existing plans for improvements.
