New health chief invited to address county council

Denbighshire County Council is to invite the new chair of the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, Dr Peter Higson, to address members.

This follows a notice of motion in the name of a group of county councillors which reads:
"In light of the recent critical national coverage of Ysgoly Glan Clwyd and our long-standing concerns about the running of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, we call upon the recently appointed chair of the board to attend the next meeting of full council.  

"We would like him to explain his plans for turning around the reputation of the board and health service in general across North Wales and here in Denbighshire.

"We want him to tell us how he will rebuild the confidence of staff, patients and the general public in our local health services."
