Overview
- Welsh Government funding has been confirmed and the health board’s business case approved, allowing preparatory work to start toward a 2027 completion.
- The scheme constitutes phase one of a planned £60m programme for the site, with a separate phase-two bid to redevelop the existing hospital to follow.
- The new build will house a minor injuries unit for about 20,000–21,000 patients a year and a 14‑bed reablement unit bringing NHS and social care teams together.
- Plans include expanded radiology services and four NHS dental suites, alongside additional training opportunities for dental nurses.
- Ministers say the project will cut emergency waits and save more than 4,500 bed‑days at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, while critics label it a downsized version of the 2013 plan and question its capacity and timing before the Senedd election.
