North Wales health board ‘We must learn from our mistakes’
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has said it must learn from its mistakes in the wake of a damning internal report.
The Holden Report concluded in 2013 that patients at Ysbyty Gwynedd’s Hergest psychiatric unit were put at risk, following a breakdown in relations between staff and managers, bullying accusations and low morale.
Whilst a redacted summary was released in 2015, a fuller version was only finally published last week – following negotiations between the health board and the information commissioner, who agreed to omit staff names.
