LL53 6EG XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX www.tydoctor.wales.nhs.uk 10 April 2017 Dr Dai Lloyd Mr Rhun Ap Iorwerth National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay CARDIFF CF99 1NA Annwyl Dai a Rhun, Thank you for coming up to Caernarfon to meet with us last week. I hope you found it informative and useful for your ongoing enquiry. My name is Arfon Williams and I have been a General Practitioner in Nefyn for the past 22 years. Unfortunately, I am the sole partner in the practice, caring for about 4300 patients, extending along the north tip of the Llyn Peninsula from Aberdaron to Clynnog Fawr. We have found it very difficult to recruit and we have had to change our whole work model in order to continue to provide a service to our patients in a safe way. The last two years have been incredibly difficult, and without the support of my excellent staff, it would have been virtually impossible for us to carry on. We have made some significant changes to the way we provide medical care, in that we have changed our skill mix, capacity, working day etc. I enclose a letter that I sent to the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to explain to them the methods we have introduced in order that they might be able to disseminate that information to help others in a similar predicament. To the best of my knowledge, I do not think that this information has been shared (which is disappointing).

Dwyfor Cluster Network Action Plan V2 Redacted Version
Cluster Network Action Plan 2015-16 (second year of the Cluster Network Development Programme) Dwyfor Cluster v1 SR The Cluster Network 1 Development Programme supports GP Practices to work to collaborate to: • Understand local health needs and priorities. • Develop an agreed Cluster Network Action Plan linked to elements of the individual Practice Development Plans. • Work with partners to improve the coordination of care and the integration of health and social care. • Work with local communities and networks to reduce health inequalities. The Action Plan should be a simple, dynamic document and in line with CND 002W guidance. The Plan should include: - • Objectives that can be delivered independently by the network to improve patient care and to ensure the sustainability and modernisation of services. • Objectives for delivery through partnership working • Issues for discussion with the Health Board For each objective there should be specific, measureable actions with a clear timescale for delivery. Cluster Action Plans should compliment individual Practice Development Plans, tackling issues that cannot be managed at an individual practice level or challenges that can be more effectively and efficiently delivered through collaborative action. 1 A GP cluster network is defined as a cluster or group of GP practices within the Local Health Board’s area of operation as previously designated for QOF QP purposes 1 To understand the needs of the population served by the Cluster Network The Cluster Profile provides a summary of key issues. Local Public Health Teams can provide additional analysis and support. Consider local rates of smoking, alcohol, healthy diet and exercise – what role do Cluster practices play and who are local partners.

Taith Pererin 2 Basingwerk Abbey Saturday 3
Taith Pererin 2 Basingwerk Abbey Saturday 3 May - Departure Over 20 Pilgrims and supporters have set off from Basingwerk Abbey this morning after a few words of prayer led by Chris. We stop at Pantasaph Priory for lunch, then continue via the Roman Pharos in Coed y Garreg and the magnificent Celtic cross at Maen Achwyfan, to Llanasa, where we take a rest in the memorial garden by the church before continuing to Trelawnyd, which we reach about 5:30. A long first day, highlights including orange-tip butterflies in the woods above St Winefride's Well, the first early purple orchid, gorse now in flower everywhere and an imminent explosion of May blossom. These two scents will now accompany us for the next 11 days as we make our way steadily westwards. We now have our Pilgrim Passports, and Jenny nobly carries the new stamps in her rucksack. These will, in due course, be left in churches and communities, shops, pubs, cafés for all to record their progress along the Way. It's an early (8:30) start from Trelawnyd tomorrow, due to the need to be in St Asaph Cathedral by 3:30 for the service marking the culmination of the Diocesan Year of Pilgrimage. Sunday 4 May - Howard's Tree It's an earlier start this morning after the now customary transport shuffle. We leave Trelawnyd at 8:30 and make better progress than yesterday, soon reaching the top of Rhuallt Hill. There are some really eccentric garden ornaments around Rhuallt - one chap has a Spitfire and a dinosaur (which has acquired a baby since last year), while his neighbour has (among others) John Wayne on horseback, Barack Obama on a park bench, three Jedi Warriors and King Kong.
