Results of probe into under-reporting of coronavirus deaths in north Wales due

First Minister Mark Drakeford is to receive the findings of a study into the under-reporting of coronavirus-related deaths in north Wales.

The investigation was launched after it was revealed that Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board failed to report for a whole month the numbers of people who had died after testing positive for Covid-19.

On Thursday, the health board reported 84 deaths across north Wales - which had occurred between March 20 and April 22.

It caused the biggest daily increase in reported deaths since the pandemic hit Wales in March.

Opposition politicians described the situation as "alarming" and demanded answers.

Speaking on the BBC's Politics Wales programme, First Minister Mark Drakeford said: "Ministers are entitled and the Welsh public is entitled to know that the figures Public Health Wales publishes every day are as accurate as they can be.
