§ Mr. GristI have received no application from Mid Glamorgan district health authority for permanent closure of the 5-bed high dependency unit at St. Tydfil's hospital. I have received three representations about the unit's temporary closure. I understand that Mid Glamorgan health authority is committed to the unit's longer-term future.
