Betsi managers ‘relocated’ after woman’s death at North Wales mental health unit

Two managers were relocated after a woman was found dead at a North Wales mental health unit, it is claimed.

The incident at Ysbyty Gwynedd’s Hergest Unit in Bangor came on April 20 this year, some five months after the Welsh Government announced it was bringing Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board out of special measures.

The provisional cause of death has been given as hanging at an inquest into her death which opened in May.

Tonight Plaid Cymru claimed that it may have been “premature” to bring the health board out of special measures in November last year.
