The seven Welsh Conservative MPs across North Wales are calling for
urgent action to ensure the region is not left behind in ensuring adequate
capacity to treat coronavirus patients.
In recent days, the UK Government has announced the acquisition of private
healthcare facilities as well as the setup of "Nightingale" field
hospitals at the ExCel Centre in London, the National Exhibition Centre in
Birmingham and the Manchester Central.
Similar plans are in
place to provide 2,000 emergency beds at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
Simon Baynes MP (Clwyd South) said: “Constituents in Clwyd South are contacting me in large numbers every
day to express their concern about the problems being experienced by the Welsh
Government in Cardiff with providing sufficient testing and personal protective
equipment (PPE) for frontline health and social care workers.
"A key Welsh Government contract to supply testing equipment has fallen through and I would
urge the First Minister to redouble his efforts to source and supply testing
equipment and PPE to all our brave frontline staff in Wales in the Coronavirus
crisis.”
