A health board admits there have been delays in returning results to some people who attended the Covid testing centre in Llangollen.
The Besto Cadwladr Health Board in partnership with Public Health Wales, Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust and Denbighshire County Council, set up the centre on Market Street car park in mid-December and it eventually closed earlier this week before moving to Denbigh.
Bur a number of people have contacted llanblogger to complain of long delays in obtaining their test results.
One local woman was tested last Saturday along with her elderly mother as the result of contact with a suspected Covid case but by late yesterday still hadn’t received notification of the results.
She therefore phoned the local GP practice and
they obtained the results for her – both negative, thankfully.
In response, Debra Hickman, Acting Executive Director of Nursing and Midwifery at the Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board, said: “We are aware of some delays in returning results from recent tests carried out in Llangollen.
"All outstanding test results should be returned as expected over the coming days.”
