North Wales health board urged to tackle massive patient backlog resulting from Covid crisis.

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board recently announced that it plans to slowly reintroduce services that were put on hold due to Covid-19. The chief officer of the North Wales Community Health Council, Geoff Ryall-Harvey has reacted, saying it was ‘good news’ that the services were restarting but he has concerns that the scale of the waiting list could overwhelm the health board if it isn’t tackled efficiently. He has made a plea to health board bosses : “Do everything you can. Patients are depending on you.”
