Assurance on Cardigan health beds
Hospital beds will be included in the Cardigan healthcare development, health chiefs have pledged.
Hywel Dda Health Board Chief Executive Trevor Purt has confirmed intentions to make the Cardigan integrated health and social care development the ‘diamond in the ring’ of community investment projects.
He said: “There has been some speculation in the community, so I would like to make it clear that this health board is committed to providing to the Cardigan development, and beds will be included as part of the business case currently being developed.
“Our project board and GPs are discussing the detail, including the requirements for how many and what type of beds are required as well as the design and layout of the building, and there is also involvement from the stakeholder board, which has wide local representation.”
Land for the development has been secured and contracts have been exchanged. The project board is now developing the Outline Business Case, which is due to be submitted to the Welsh Government for approval later this year. The next stage is to complete a Full Business Case, which the health board hopes to complete by the middle of next year, with the aim of construction starting towards the end of 2013.
The health board announced its plans, which include a five year programme that will see £40m of investment into primary and community care facilities, earlier this month.
Your Health Your Future – Consulting our Communities describes the health board’s preferred options for delivering first class healthcare to the local community.
The plans also include proposals to progress to Cylch Caron project in Tregaron and build a new community resource centre in Aberaeron. All these developments will help to support care closer to, or inside, patient’s own homes.
