Plaid Cymru - standing up for Dwyfor-Meirionnydd

Health Board urged to consider specific needs of rural communities when determining Covid testing sites Plaid Cymru Member of Parliament Liz Saville Roberts has called on Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to establish dedicated local community testing centres for people living in the Dwyfor and Meirionnydd area who present with symptoms of Covid-19.   Whilst the Health Board has committed to opening a testing centre in Bangor, there remains no permanent provision for those living in Dwyfor and Meirionnydd, with the nearest alternative operational testing centres in Aberystwyth and Llandudno.

Plaid Cymru Gwynedd will today call on the UK Government to create legislation to regulate offshore personal water vehicles, such as jet skis, in the same way as motorcycles are governed by road legislation. “Does the population of Wales realise that Wales and countries within the United Kingdom are the only ones in Europe that allow jet ski users to drive along our waters without any form of restrictions?" asked Councillor Gareth Thomas who has responsibility for communities and economic development in Gwynedd.

Plaid Cymru Senedd candidate for Dwyfor Meirionnydd and Chair of the North Wales Health Alliance, Cllr Mabon ap Gwynfor has called on Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to make use of the so-far unfilled north Wales rainbow hospitals to help deal with the sizeable backlog of patients waiting for treatment across the region.
