Anger as watchdog fails to oppose hospital closures

Ther BBC North East Wales news website is reporting this afternoon (Thursday) that patients' watchdog body the Community Health Council has decided today not to refer the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board's proposal to close several community hospitals - including Llangollen - minor injury units and X-ray departments to Wales' Health Minister Lesley Griffiths.

The decision is said to have been greeted with dismay by North Wales Assembly Members campaigning against the moves.
