Commenting on the announcement by Dr Frank Atherton, the Chief Medical Officer, that the unreported deaths at Betsi Cadwaladr Health University Board were due to a “computer glitch”, the Shadow Minister for North Wales – Mark Isherwood AM – said:
“As I said yesterday, Welsh Conservatives are calling for the report – which the First Minister is due to receive today – to be made public.
“A ‘computer glitch’ seems on the face of it to be a very simplistic excuse, and I am reminded of the phrase ‘garbage in, garbage out’ when it comes to incorrect data and recording.
“The report must be published for confidence to begin to return.”
Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board has been in special measures since June 2015.
