Health Plan Meeting

It's short notice - I've only just heard - but there will be a Focus Group Meeting at Talgarth Town Hall tomorrow, Friday, at 1.15pm, followed by a drop in session from 3pm to 5pm, to talk about A&E services, neonatal and inpatient children's services, and hospital transport in Powys and throughout South Wales.
One concern is that nothing should happen to Nevill Hall hospital until the proposed new one at Cwmbran is actually up and running - they haven't started building it yet. Another concern is that, because Powys is being lumped in with South Wales, the services are moving closer to the population centres of South Wales, and thus further away from Powys - so journey times will be longer and people (especially children) in hospital will be further away from their families and friends who want to visit them. Our ambulance services are stretched to the limit now....

I thought it said 'impatient children's services'
