Ambulance Services in Monmouth
Petition wording:
We believe that Monmouth should be granted the appropriate ambulance provision. With its population set to rise, and the Minor Injuries Unit at Monnow Vale recently closed down, demand will increase for the ambulance service.
National Assembly for Wales:
We request the Health and Social Committee of the National Assembly
to undertake a scrutiny inquiry into the ambulance service in rural
Wales. We would urge the Committee to investigate the particular
problems in Monmouth and the impact of the closure of the Monnow
Vale Minor Injuries Unit on the ambulance service.
Welsh Government:
We urge the Minister for Health and social Care to use her powers
to require the Wales NHS Ambulance Trust to provide a uniformly
high standard of ambulance provision throughout Wales and
especially rural areas such as Monmouthshire.
Welsh Ambulance NHS Trust:
We urge Welsh Ambulance NHS Trust to increase provision for
Monmouth in real terms, with a high dependency unit and/or
ambulance based within Monmouth town.
