: Maternity Services in the Cynon Valley
Petition
wording:
We the undersigned call upon the National Assembly for Wales to
reinstate maternity services in the Cynon valley by completing the
Tair Afon birthing centre as originally planned in Ysbyty Cwm
Cynon.
Supporting
Information:
Ysbyty Cwm Cynon was designed to house a midwife-led birthing
centre. Although the space is available at the hospital and
much of the work has been completed the decision has been taken not
to have the birthing centre. As a consequence the women
of the Cynon valley must travel to Prince Charles Hospital, Merthyr
Tydfil or opt for a home birth. This withdrawal of services
to the people of the Cynon valley is unacceptable.
