COUNCILLORS' CONCERNS OVER LACK OF GPS IN COUNTY

CONWY councillors have raised concerns with health chiefs about a lack of GPs in the county.

- 

The matter was debated at a social care and health scrutiny committee at Conwy's Coed Pella HQ, where councillors questioned Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board chiefs on the NHS.

Councillors complained of a lack of GP surgeries, claiming patients can't get an appointment. Old Colwyn Cllr David Carr grilled Betsi's chiefs on the lack of access locally to doctors, arguing the case for more health care centres.

He said: "Really, the essential thing we need to do is to improve GP services, because that is the first point of contact. The situation at the moment isn't really a very adequate situation. GPs have too many patients, and that is the real problem." Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox.
