On 13 July, in answer to a question you raised in plenary, I confirmed I have asked my officials to do some initial work in this area.
I have agreed to look at whether there is a business case for establishing an additional medical school in Wales. I do, however, want to set this within the context of the wider health professional education and training requirements within North Wales.
I expect to receive the outcome of this initial work in the autumn. I will then be in a position to consider next steps.
