Betsi Cadwaladr health board's 'reputation critical'

The boss of Wales' biggest health board says it is turning a corner since being put under ministerial control 100 days ago due to concerns about the way it was being run.

Simon Dean, the interim chief executive Betsi Cadwaladr, admits there is still more to do since special measures were imposed in June.

Mr Dean set a 100-day challenge to help turn the troubled organisation around.

But the Conservatives say there is a perception that little has changed.

Mr Dean said it was too early to make a judgement but there was still "a huge amount to do".

He told BBC Wales health correspondent Owain Clarke it was important that the health board restores its reputation and improves staff morale so it would be an attractive place to work.
