Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) has been accused of spending more money on a management consultant than it would save by cutting paid breaks for nursing staff. The health board confirmed it was paying £1,990 a day for an “interim recovery director”. It described the sum as “market rate for this level of expertise”.
