The deaths of four patients at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Denbighshire will be investigated further by a coroner, BBC Wales has reported. It comes after a review in January of this year found that a coroner was not fully informed of four patient deaths at the north Wales vascular service.
The inquests were opened by coroner John Gittins, in Ruthin, Denbighshire on Tuesday. Keith Hyde, Edmund Jones, Alan George, and Anthony Clemett were all being treated at the hospital for blood vessel and circulation problems.
A new model, which was reorganised in 2019, saw complex procedures at Wrexham Maelor Hospital in Wrexham and Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor being moved to the vascular service to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. But there had been concerns about the development of the new hub at the hospital in Bodelwyddan.
