Clwyd West MS Darren Millar has welcomed the news that the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has received a Gold Award under the Ministry of Defence’s Defence Employer Recognition Scheme for the second time.

The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme encourages employers to support the armed forces community and inspire others to do the same.

Darren, who Chairs the Senedd’s Cross Party Group on the Armed Forces and Cadets, said:

“I am delighted that the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has once again received this award, after being the first Health Board in Wales to obtain it in 2018.

“As the Armed Forces Covenant & Veteran Healthcare Collaborative Lead, Zoe Roberts does an excellent job of advocating for the armed forces and veterans’ community in North Wales and this award is well-deserved.

“It is important that we continue to support our armed forces and veterans’ community across the region and it is great to see the Health Board’s achievements recognised.”
