P-06-1544 Take urgent action to improve the NHS in West Wales, and address the crisis at Glangwili hospital

This petition was submitted by Christine Castle, having collected a total of 1,304 signatures.

Text of petition:

The reduction/closure of services at other Hywel Dda hospitals has caused a crisis at Glangwili.

Patients are having to travel huge distances to reach emergency care, increasing reliance on ambulances.

The CDU is no longer functional as a true Clinical Decisions Unit and is operating as a ward, with unwell patients being forced to sleep in chairs in the CDU or remain in A&E as there is no ward space to admit them.

The NHS staff are doing their best but the situation is untenable.
