§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list those trust hospitals in Wales where the hospital medical unit has been closed to general practitioner admission.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesAll hospitals, whether NHS trust or directly managed units, may need to implement temporary closures for a variety of reasons. In Wales, four NHS trusts have had to do this:
- Llandough Hospital NHS Trust
- (3 April, 12 hours; 19 April, 6 hours; 20 April, 6 hours)
- Llanelli Dinefwr NHS Trust
- (7 April, 24 hours; 25 April, 24 hours)
- Wrexham Maelor NHS Trust
- (17/18 April, 48 hours)
- Carmarthen and District NHS Trust
- (19 April)
On each occasion arrangements were made to admit emergency patients to the nearest alternative appropriate hospital.
