Who am I?
I’m Hannah Blythyn and I’m proud to represent Delyn in the Welsh Parliament. It’s a privilege to serve the community that shaped me since 2016. I grew up here, went to school here and I live here – I’m from Flintshire and for Flintshire and I’m committed to working hard to make a difference for Delyn and champion our corner of the country.
What do I do?
An MS is essentially an MP but in Wales. As Member of the Senedd (MS) for Delyn – the western part of Flintshire – I represent constituents from Oakenholt to Gronant, the towns of Flint, Mold, Holywell and Caerwys and the many villages in and around the area. My office is based in the centre of Mold and I’m active in communities the length and breadth of the constituency all year round, holding more than 100 community events, assisting nearly 1,000 residents and visiting around 90 businesses and organisations throughout Flintshire.
What is devolved to Wales?
In short, a lot of the things that we care the most about and that impact on all of our lives – from education to the environment, health to highways, culture and tourism, economic development and devolved taxes, agriculture, food, rural affairs and Welsh language and more.

What has devolution done?
As far as law-making institutions go, the Welsh Parliament is still relatively young, with 2019 marking the 20th anniversary of devolution. Devolution has made a difference – from free prescriptions to being the first nation in the UK to have a living wage in the NHS and a world leader when it comes to recycling. Whether you’re young or older – Educational Maintenance Allowance, free or discounted bus travel and now being able to keep more of your hard-earned savings if you need to go into residential care.
As a proud North Walian, I know all too well the distance and feeling of disconnect between our corner of the country and Cardiff Bay – that’s why I’ve taken action to make sure our agenda is the Senedd’s agenda and will continue to press the case for North East Wales.
How can I help?
I’m here to help with any questions, queries or problems you have. If I’m not the right port of call to assist, then my office will support you in the right direction. I’m more than happy to come to visit organisations, businesses, schools and groups both to find out more about your work and for you to ask questions about my work. I’d just ask that you give my office as much notice as possible as my diary often fills up quickly.
