A conference that Dwyfor Meirionnydd MP Liz Saville Roberts had been due to attend this week has been cancelled because of the coronavirus.

A spokesperson for Alzheimer’s Society Cymru said the conference, which had been due to take place at Venue Cymru in Llandudno on Thursday will be held later in the year.

One of the keynote speakers, Mrs Saville Roberts, was going to discuss the provision of access to health and social care services for those living with and affected by dementia in rural communities.

Speaking before the cancellation, she said: “Living in rural Wales is wonderful, but too many people in these areas face dementia alone and isolated, without access to quality care and support, transport links and community amenities.

"It is therefore increasingly important for those people living with dementia that community councils, businesses, local authorities, charities, health practitioners and individuals unite to address the issues associated with rural living to ensure that everyone, in every corner of the country, gets the support they need and deserve.”
