Wales’ largest health board has been given a “final chance” to improve after spending nine years in special measures.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, which covers all of north Wales, has been under the highest level of oversight due to concerns about care quality, patient safety, and leadership.
Due to a lack of progress, the Welsh government said it would take on a more direct role, with an expert panel set to review the situation and report back by the end of October.
On Tuesday, Health Secretary Mabon ap Gwynfor warned “all options” were on the table if progress was not at the scale and pace it expected to see.
