Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:36 pm on 7 February 2017.
There is concern in the Colwyn Bay area that a surgery is closing. Other surgeries are under pressure and three of these surgeries, if truth be told, have only one GP. It is an area where the minor injuries unit in Hesketh Road has been closed for some years. The area’s population is also older than the average, and there are hundreds of homes now being built as a result of the local development plan. Would you agree with me that such a situation is unsustainable and can you tell us what you are doing to assist the local health board to meet the significantly enhanced demand? The demand is up but the provision, of course, is going down.
