Part of 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 2:59 pm on 25 April 2018.
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for that answer. You'd be aware of the considerable residential developments that are going on around the city of Cardiff, and in particular I draw your attention to the developments in the west of the city, where surgeries and practices have issued notices to say they are unable to take on more patients because they haven't been allowed any more resources to recruit and, importantly, retain staff to meet the increased demand of new housing. Do you recognise that as a problem in the system of provision of primary medical services, and what discussions have you had with the health board in the Cardiff and Vale area to try and address that resource issue that new developments are creating to the west of the city on GP surgeries?
