Mark Drakeford responded to criticism from former chair of the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board in a heated debate in First Minister’s Questions.
The health board, which covers north Wales, was placed into special measures in February this year after a report by Audit Wales said the health board had “serious problems” and “fractured working relationships”.
It said some individuals challenged team members in way that was “perceived by some to be hostile and inappropriate”. This is the second time in five years that Betsi has been placed into special measures.
