Mr. McBride askedthe Secretary of State for Wales if he will assist Glantawe Hospital Management Committee to postpone the closure of the traumatic unit of Morriston Hospital, Swansea, due to take place on 31st January; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasIn spite of every effort the Glantawe Hospital Management Committee has, unfortunately, been unable to recruit medical staff for the unit. The management committee is therefore reluctantly compelled to close the unit at the end of January. Arrangements have been made for all accident and casualty cases to be attended to at Singleton Hospital until further notice.
