Areas not under consultation

On this page you will find information on issues that have already been decided and are therefore not part of the consultation.

There will be three main acute hospitals in North Wales (Ysybty Gwynedd, Ysbyty Glan Clwyd and Wrexham Maelor Hospital) each with an Emergency Department, a midwifery-led unit alongside a consultant-led obstetric service and paediatric emergency and inpatient services, as well as non-elective general surgical and trauma and orthopaedic services.
 
We will develop services which will improve children’s health in the early years.
 
We will help people stay fitter for longer.
 
We will develop capacity in primary and community services, including developing community services for older people with mental health needs, delivering more care in, or close to home, thereby reducing reliance upon hospital care.
 
We will commission major trauma services for seriously injured patients from the University Hospital of North Staffordshire in Stoke.
 
 
We will continue to regionalise certain sub-specialities in accordance with accepted professional standards such as specialist cancer services and some orthopaedic services.
 
The Health Board recognises that there are risks in relation to the workforce, skills and financial resources needed to deliver these services across the three sites and will closely monitor the situation. Services will continue to evolve as they work towards the sustainable delivery of quality standards.
 
Appropriate contingency arrangements will also be developed to ensure the safety of patients and staff.
