Health chief 'extremely sorry' for letting patients down

An independent report into concerns over patient treatment and care on the Ablett Unit at Glan Clwyd Hospital has been published.

The Chief Executive of the health board said: " I am extremely sorry that we let our vulnerable patients and their families down so badly."

We are making public the independent report into the care and treatment of the patients on the ward prior to the ward’s closure in December 2013.

We have prioritised a range of work to prevent anything like this from happening again.

On behalf of the Health Board, I am extremely sorry that we let our vulnerable patients and their families down so badly.

– Professor Trevor Purt, Betsi Cadwaladr UHB
