The Dolwenith surgery in Penygroes is closing at the end of the month and nobody will replace the GP who’s retiring. He was the only one providing Welsh-medium services in an area of 5,000 people where three quarters are Welsh speakers. The valley will have fewer doctors per head than the Welsh average and yesterday, in a very poor statement, you said that you wouldn’t be establishing a medical school in Bangor. How many other surgeries have to close? How many other locums will you have to pay a great deal for before you realise that a medical school is the only sustainable way of resolving the health crisis that faces us in north Wales?
