Cardiff University bosses have defended the way a process to cut hundreds of jobs and axe some departments has been handled.

Giving evidence to a Senedd Committee, Vice Chancellor Prof Wendy Larner said it had been "difficult" but they had taken "the right approach".

Prof Larner was asked whether announcing plans to close some departments, including nursing and then "backtracking" had been wise in view of the impact on staff morale and the institution's reputation.

It comes after a union claimed the process had led to a "severe and urgent mental health crisis" among staff.

Meanwhile, more than 100 Bangor University staff and supporters have taken part in a demonstration against staff cuts there.
