CLWYD South MS Ken Skates has called on the Welsh Government to implement his recommendation that Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) should be split up.

Labour's Mr Skates has called on Welsh Health Minister Eluned Morgan to consider assessing the impact and benefits of splitting Wales' largest health board, which serves most of North Wales.

Mr Skates spoke at a Senedd debate on Wednesday, June 8, where the Conservatives called for BCUHB to be put back into special measures.

He said: "There is no doubt that health provision is the single biggest issue of concern to people in North Wales right now, and by some distance.

"The Conservative motion sees a different set of special measures as the answer to the health board's failings.

The Plaid amendment offers reorganisation as the answer."

As part of his plan, Mr Skates suggests that a review of the special measurements process could highlight the issues for revision to identify areas to be improved.

He also adds that firstly looking at the short-term consequences of reorganisation on service outcomes can be beneficial to learn if the plans will work long-term.

The Clwyd South MS is calling for a People's Panel to be established in the north, as he believes that citizens' voices need to be heard and their opinions valued, in order to truly improve the system.

He said: "A People's Panel could offer, I think, an objective, informed, depoliticised and citizen-led view of what needs to change."

The MS also believes that an accessible online data dashboard for the seven health board areas. could bring "transparency and improve communication".

That will give the public a chance to see and compare the outcomes of their services across Wales.

He added: "I'd implore the Minister to consider all constructive suggestions, such as those that I've offered, in order to restore public confidence in health services in North Wales."

He suggested that the Citizen Voice Body for Health and Social Care (CVB) should move its headquarters in North Wales, as he believes that this would demonstrate commitment by the organisation to decentralisation.
