Betsi Cadwaladr U-turn over doctor-led maternity care

Plans to temporarily remove doctor-led maternity care at one of the three north Wales hospitals look set to be abandoned.

A document to go to Betsi Cadwaladr health board next week recommends services at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan stay as they are.

Consultant-led maternity services at the Denbighshire hospital were due to go as part of widely-opposed plans.

Campaigners felt mothers and babies would have been put at risk.
