'There is a risk that the Health Board is unable to meet its statutory responsibilities to provide a primary care service to the population of North Wales.... There is a risk that the Health Board will have difficulty recruiting and retaining high quality staff in certain areas'.

I'm concerned about that. We really need to see this Government, which is in charge of Betsi Cadwaladr, start planning for the workforce that Betsi Cadwaladr and all our other health boards need for the future, with innovation. Otherwise, the current workforce will continue to be asked to do the impossible, and both they and their patients deserve better.
