It's definitely interesting what factors are particular to Betsi. It has five times more people waiting longer than two south Wales HBs combined, traditionally areas with poorer health and lower incomes in the population.

That might be a factor but then look at west Wales, where you have retirees too.

Never quite got what "an ear for music" was until I saw what he could do. Could pick out any melody. Him and his grandad both. 💗 (Still love listening to Primitive Painters too, 80s classic)

Remember seeing I-Level at Snobs in Birmingham. Still got the vinyl somewhere... Never heard of again!

Agree. Unfortunately too many people caught exceeding the limit are in a tiny number of stretches of road, many of which are now under review. Suggests the implementation could've been far better. Compliance gen seems pretty good though. I find more considerate drivers in built-up areas than before.
