A ruined cottage wall painted with
graffi ti that has become a symbol of
Welsh national pride is to be protected
by a charity, its new owner has vowed,
after it was repeatedly vandalised.
The stone wall, in Llanrhystud,
near Aberystwyth, was fi rst painted
in the 1960s with the slogan “ Cofi wch
Dryweryn ” (“Remember Tryweryn”),
a reference to the UK parliament’s
decision to allow the fl ooding of the
Tryweryn Valley in north Wales in 1965
to create a reservoir serving Liverpool.
The drowning of the valley, with
the loss of the village of Capel Celyn ,
is regarded as a turning point for Welsh
nationalism. In the decades since, the
country’s most famous piece of graf-
fi ti has itself been frequently defaced,
altered and repainted repeatedly.

Health editorThe government has announced its
third successive handout to the NHS
in as many days with a pledge by Boris
Johnson that £250m will be invested
in artifi cial intelligence (AI), which he
said would help transform care and cut
waiting times.
The money will go to set up a
national AI lab working on digital
advances to improve the detection
of diseases by predicting who is most
likely to get them. AI is being used in
some hospitals to predict cancer sur-
vival and cut the number of missed
appointments. It is used to identify
patients most likely not to turn up,
who then get a reminder phone call.
On Tuesday, Johnson promised
£1.8bn towards the maintenance and
rebuilding of hospitals, estimated to
require a total of £6bn. Yesterday, he
promised changes to a pension tax that
has resulted in the best paid doctors
and nurses cutting back on extra shifts.
Today’s announcement would help
the NHS become a world leader in AI,Following vandalism this year,
however, when the wall was painted
over with the word “Elvis” and later
partially demolished, a local business
owner stepped in to buy the gable end,
saying she will transfer its ownership
to a charity in order to protect it.
“I, like so many others, felt angry
and hurt when the symbolic ‘Cofi wch
Dryweryn’ wall was damaged twice
earlier this year,” said the new owner,
Dilys Davies. ”
She said she spoke to Elin Jones,
the Welsh assembly member for
Ceredigion, who by chance had alsobeen contacted by the farmers who
previously owned the wall. They
agreed to sell.
Davies said she would hand over
the wall to a charity called Tro’r Trai to
secure its future, though the decision
of how best to preserve it in future was
yet to be made.
“You could put a fence around
it, but on the other hand there is
something nice about the street art
element and that it has been re-done
after the original was done. I would
like to think that, although I own the
wall, it belongs to all of us.”Protection for

Third NHS cash
boost will go to

(Remember Tryweryn) by poet Meic Stephens PHOTOGRAPH: ANDREW CHITTOCK/ALAMYhe said. “The NHS is revered for the
world-class care it provides every day –
a treasured institution that showcases
the very best of Britain.
“ It is also leading the way in
harnessing new technology to treat
and prevent, from earlier cancer detec-
tion to spotting the deadly signs of
dementia. Today’s funding ... will
also boost the frontline by automat-
ing admin tasks and freeing up staff
to care for patients. ”
The health secretary, Matt Hancock,
an AI enthusiast, said the NHS was “on
the cusp of a huge health tech revo-
lution that could transform patient
experience by making the NHS a truly
predictive, preventive and personal-
ised health and care service”.
The NHS England chief execu-
tive, Simon Stevens, said “carefully
targeted” AI was ready for practical
application in the health service, and
the investment was “another step in
the right direction”. “I t should help
personalise NHS screening and treat-
ments for cancer, eye disease and a
range of other conditions , and our new
NHS AI lab will ensure the benefi ts of
NHS data and innovation are fully har-
nessed for patients in this country.ӣ250m
