Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 2:34 pm on 12 October 2022.
'Despite the service substantially improving equity overall, there remained residual inequity in provision in the North West, and expansion into this area was to be considered.'
In a written statement in April this year, responding to that report, the Minister was full of praise about—and I quote—'the positive findings' of the report.
Now, I'm sure that the same arguments could be made for Powys, but on this particular issue, how can moving the helicopter further away, moving the road vehicles further away, be an expansion of the EMRTS services in the north-west in particular? It can't be about the expansion of flying hours—that helps everybody; we'd all welcome that. How would closing Caernarfon constitute an expansion of provision in the north-west as a means to tackle residual inequity in provision, or what's changed since your statement in April?
