A HEALTH campaign group head has called for an under fire health board to be split in half. Cllr Carol Marubbi, deputy mayor of Llandudno and president of the Llandudno Hospital Action Group, said she was ‘elated’ by recent news that Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board had been placed in special measures, claiming morale at Llandudno hospital is ‘gone’ and that the board had ‘lost sight of patients and people’. She said: "When there were two separate boards you had North West Wales and North East Wales and they ran really well. “They decided to amalgamate into one huge trust Betsi Cadwaladr.“I think they were so interested in that that they lost sight of patients and people themselves. “It’s too big to go on as it is and I think it needs splitting in half.”She listed some of the problems which she feels have contributed to the board’s situation. These included when heart services were placed under threat at Llandudno Hospital in 2006, through to the relocation of breast surgery services from the hospital in 2013. Cllr Marubbi added: "Morale in Llandudno Hospital is gone.“When you've got a standard of excellence with breast services and then they take it away, one questions." She went on to say that delays in the completion of Llandudno Hospital’s new minor injuries unit had also proved disappointing. A Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board spokesperson said: “We are working very hard to improve and modernise services at Llandudno Hospital for the benefit of patients in the surrounding area and our staff as well. “Our new modern Minor Injuries Unit is on course to be fully operational late summer this year. “It will greatly enhance care provided at the current site and is the result of partnership work between the health board and local stakeholders who have mapped out the building from discussion, to planning and finally construction. “Larger than the existing MIU, the replacement will meet modern building regulations, provide more treatment areas, support improved clinical access to patient records and provide specific areas for the treatment of children.”
