Providing the opportunity for public facing interaction and questions of concern etc.  ---including presentations regarding gp clusters and various health services provided at surgeries etc.
                Could you please  advise if ABMU Health Board intends to hold any similiar  Public Forum events, to  inform the population of Bridgend  and allay the public concerns and uncertainties that are increasingly becoming apparent with the imminent transfer of healthcare from ABMU. to CWM TAF HEALTH BOARD.
