Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 1:31 pm on 4 October 2017.
Like you, Rhun, I am pleased that we’ve been able to agree funding of £7 million in next year’s budget to support our plans for the development of undergraduate medical education in north Wales. The health Secretary gave a commitment to update Assembly Members in the autumn, and that remains the position, but I can tell you that officials are working with the three institutions to progress the proposal and to identify the practical steps required to make it happen. Officials most recently met with Cardiff, Swansea and Bangor, together with the deanery, on 21 September.
