Campaigners have delivered a 15,200 signature petition to the Senedd today. Consultant-led maternity services will be temporarily removed from Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Denbighshire and will be centralised at two other hospitals in Wrexham and Bangor. It follows concerns over staffing and patient safety
Professor Matt Makin, Executive Medical Director at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has told ITV News that complex maternity care at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd has reached a tipping point to where the hospital can no longer sustain its services.
It comes as a decision was made earlier today to temporarily suspend consultant led maternity care due to fears over patient safety and staffing levels.
Professor Making explained the decision was taken to act now to avoid the hospital becoming 'too dependent' on locum and agency staff that will in turn introduce an 'unacceptable risk' to patients.
