Commenting on Betsi Cadwaladr UHB’s confirmation that plans to suspend consultant-led maternity care at one of north Wales' main hospitals have been scrapped,Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Health, Darren Millar AM, said:
“Confirmation of this much-needed U-turn is hugely welcome news and represents a victory for common sense.
“Scrapping these unnecessary proposals was a victory for common sense and a triumph for all those campaigners and clinicians who opposed the plans.
“This has been a hugely unsettling time for staff, mums-to-be and their families and I’m glad that we can finally put this matter to bed.
“It’s now absolutely crucial that Labour ministers see through on their promise to swiftly establish the new Neonatal Intensive Care Centre for North Wales.”
