The Welsh Minister for Health and Social Services failed to address urgent calls for review and reform of the A&E department at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd this week.  This was requested by Janet Finch-Saunders, Shadow Welsh Minister for Social Care, as she highlighted the fact that Ysbyty Glan Clwyd has the worst performing A&E in Wales, and has not once hit the 95 per cent target for patients seen within the four-hour target time.

Mark Drakeford AM, First Minister, has refused to make cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) a compulsory part of the new curriculum.

The Welsh Minister for Finance and Trefnydd has given assurances that there will be a focus on improvement and value for money at the heart of Welsh Government considerations of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board’s plans for 2020-21.

The RSPCA and Janet Finch-Saunders, Assembly Member for Aberconwy, are asking the public to “take small steps to save Llandudno seals”.

This follows the Assembly Member’s work with Conwy County Borough Council, Mostyn Estates, Wildlife Trust Wales, Natural Resources Wales, and local residents to successfully introduce a marine code of conduct for water vessels / recreational boats launching from Conwy Council owned slipways, and to see an educational sign on the Little Orme. Also, the call comes as a result of the spotting of injured seals at Pigeon's Cove, the Great Orme, over the weekend.
