Hundreds of campaigners opposing a raft of changes to hospital care in north Wales have taken to the streets.

More than 300 people joined the demonstrations in Llandudno.

It follows a decision by the area community health council (CHC) not to refer Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board plans to the Welsh government.

The health board says it has made "very hard" decisions but has a "responsibility to provide safe and sustainable" care.

Serious neonatal baby care will move to England, and a number of community hospitals will close.

Llandudno town councillor Carol Marubbi, vice-chair of the local hospital action group, said:"We are not going away. We will continue fighting until we are listened to. Health services are a catastrophe at the moment."
