Of course, you do report back to the Assembly often that you feel that improvements are being made in several areas, but it’s clear to me that there is a block in the system. I don’t know if it’s a funding block, or a block in terms of management, or if there is a more major problem that needs to be addressed. We are talking about the need to deliver services more and more in the community through GP surgeries and pharmacies and so on, but I fear that we are moving in the other direction in terms of the use of resources, with hospitals, which are under huge pressures, of course, taking more and more of a share of the cake.

I know that changing structures is not child’s play, but I do think that the time has now come to scrap the Betsi Cadwaladr health board. I would propose that what is needed is to split it, not geographically, but in terms of strata—as hospitals and primary care. The budgets for primary care would be safeguarded and the primary care board could create a new model of real integration with social care, whilst the hospitals could focus on their own challenges. Does the Government, like me, have the desire to seek new solutions?
