* Locality Matron Jane Jones and Finance and Government Business Minister Jane Hutt at Llangollen Health Centre. |
The Minister was visiting Llangollen on Thursday to
see how £5.2 million capital funding from the Welsh Government has helped
develop the new facility.
The Health Centre has been established
to enable Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, the Llangollen GP Practice,
Denbighshire County Council Social Services and the Third Sector to provide
integrated services in a modern and purpose built facility.
Opened in September 2015, it offers an
improved and more spacious environment for patients and staff as well as
expanding the scale and range of health and voluntary services provided.
Jane Hutt said: “Investing in our
health service is a priority for the Welsh Government and the new Llangollen
Health Centre is a clear demonstration of that commitment.
“I am pleased we have provided over £5
million for this fantastic state-of-the-art facility which is playing a vital
role in helping deliver the highest quality service to the local community.
“Investing in our infrastructure makes
a positive difference and delivers real and long-term benefits for people.”
Simon Dean, interim Chief Executive of
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome
the Minister to the new Llangollen Health Centre.
“This major investment has given the
town an excellent centre for care services, where GP practice staff and Health
Board colleagues, along with social services and the voluntary sector, are now
working together more effectively than ever to provide health and well-being
services for the local communities.
“The
building itself offers first class facilities, and it has the space we need to
enable new services to be introduced.”
