Commenting on the opening of a new medical school in Bangor, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Health, Sam Rowlands MS said:
“This is welcome news that will begin the process of easing the burden on a Welsh NHS that remains under immense pressure.
“Welsh Conservative longstanding calls for a North Wales medical school have been answered, but this is just the first step to ending the workforce crisis in the Welsh NHS and ending the reliance on costly agency staff.
“Simply training the doctors of the future is not enough. Labour should now adopt the Welsh Conservative plan to offer these new students their tuition fees back if they commit to work in Wales for five years after their studies.”
