Rhyl's Royal Alexandra Hospital

THE Welsh Government has indicated it will make a statement next week on the future of Rhyl’s Royal Alexandra Hospital.

Tory Senedd Member Darren Millar this week called on the Welsh Government to deliver “in full” its plans for a new hospital in Rhyl.

In a letter to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, Jeremy Miles, Clwyd West MS Darren Millar said there was an urgent need to deliver a new facility to relieve pressures on Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.

But Mr Millar, the Welsh Tory leader, also criticised the hospital plans being downscaled - with funding for the project yet to materialise.
