To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list those trust hospitals in Wales where the hospital medical unit has been closed to general practitioner admission.

All hospitals, whether NHS trust or directly managed units, may need to implement temporary closures for a variety of reasons. In Wales, four NHS trusts have had to do this:

  • Llandough Hospital NHS Trust
  • (3 April, 12 hours; 19 April, 6 hours; 20 April, 6 hours)
  • Llanelli Dinefwr NHS Trust
  • (7 April, 24 hours; 25 April, 24 hours)
  • Wrexham Maelor NHS Trust
  • (17/18 April, 48 hours)
  • Carmarthen and District NHS Trust
  • (19 April)
On each occasion arrangements were made to admit emergency patients to the nearest alternative appropriate hospital.
