§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the number of(a) days and (b) nights that the Prince Philip hospital, Llanelli was closed for the admission of accident and emergency patients in (i) 1992 and (ii) the first five months of 1993.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesThe Prince Philip hospital was closed for accident and emergency admissions for a total of seven days and nights in 1992 and for the same period of time in the first five months of 1993 due to increased demand for admissions combined with short-term staffing problems. The hospital is taking steps to overcome these difficulties, including measures to increase bed use efficiency.
