UPCCs in Holyhead, Tremadog and Bangor may shut as Betsi Cadwaladr University health board struggles with funding and recruitment
A struggling Welsh health board may close urgent primary care centres at three hospitals, citing funding and recruitment issues, prompting widespread criticism.
Betsi Cadwaladr University health board, which serves about a quarter of Wales’s population, said it was consulting on ending urgent primary care centres (UPCCs) at Ysbyty Penrhos Stanley in Holyhead, Ysbyty Alltwen in Tremadog and Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor by April 2027.
