And the M4 is only a mile or so up the road. PoW is about 17 miles or more (as well as 5+ miles off the M4). Merthyr is rather more!
What happened to the ‘Golden Hour’?

Closure will only exacerbate the problem, AND also the distances between the greatest concentration of population in RCT IS around the RGH area. And yet, the Health Board, (ably) assisted by the Assembly, are ignoring the potential impact and dangers to the residents!
The hospital is in the M4 ‘corridor’ as well - what are the implications for travellers in the event of an accident (Bridgend or Cardiff?) between junctions 32 to 35? Merthyr or back to Bridgend/Cardif?

This will have a negative impact on their health. I think it is unreasonable and a retrograde step regarding local delivery of medical care. I contribute tax and national insurance and should be able to have my health care needs met without having to travel to another borough. This will be disastrous for older people and the less well off and discriminating against people in the valleys.

Everyone should be entitled to that and this will no longer be the case with the new plans. Within weeks of my daughter being born, she had to return to the hospital with suspected meningitis and the care we received from the paediatric ward was again superb. I can only speak highly of these departments that are being targeted.

There will be a great deal of elderley people that might need to attend the A & E department and will have to find themselves making the trek to Merthyr which could be prove to be fatal. The journey for myself to RGH takes aprrox. 15 mins it would take another 15 mins on top and then the wait at the hospital will be double to see a doctor. Indeed it would be great shame if it were to close.

Medical conditions appear worse during the evening and night time when we are aware of reduced medical coverage. Children
especially require rapid access to medical assistance because they can become ill very quickly. With assistance, we can often travel to a local A&E but this becomes much more difficult the further away the department is. We might have to phone the emergency services which are already at breaking point. My concern is that there is no rational thinking behind this decision. If A&E services are being withdrawn, something else must be put in their place. Will it be GP's working 24/7, NHS Drop in Centres? Daytime nurse led minor accident clinics? This is a big catchment area, one which is growing all the time, the hospital is modern and not far from the M4. Why waste it? Merthyr Tydfil is miles away and the hospital difficult to find. This decision is not taking account of other current issues such as the non-emergency helpline which is overloading A&E departments countrywide and the GP's working office hours so that working people cannot see them, and so go to A&E.

]]> Sun, 16 Jun 2013 06:42:26 UTC 15401383 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/15401357?utm_medium=rss This hospital has better access from M4 than any other hospital in Wales.It is easiest to find if you are not local with good signage and straightforward route. Quality of care excellent. Waiting times reasonable. Standards high in terms of hygiene, clinical delivery and staff attitude. It is well designed internally and easy for older and disabled patients and visitors to negotiate. Personal experience of all named hospitals leaves R.G.H highest in terms of my personal satisfaction. Statistics confirm high level of need in this community. Bigger is not necessarily better particularly in these service areas. Consider centralisation of administration and planned routine services rather than those affecting the most vulnerable patients. Prince Charles Hospital Merthyr is admittedly best placed for Powys but is an appalling example of poor location((very hard to find if not local), bad design and poor service delivery. Focus on improving poor services not closing good.
