Rats have been observed within the Ivor Lewis building at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in North Wales. This pre-operative assessment clinic has reported rat sightings after the rodents reportedly chewed through wall gaps.
A local councillor, Brian Jones, has strongly criticized the situation, calling the presence of rats "totally unacceptable" and "very disturbing." He expressed concerns that the actions taken by the health board might not be sufficient to resolve the issue.
The Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board confirmed that a small number of rat sightings occurred. They stated that pest control measures, including routine inspections, are active across the site. The board insists there is no evidence of an infestation and that these incidents have not impacted patient care or clinical services.
