Bronglais Hospital's children's ward said it is dealing with 'temporary staff shortages'.
Cerys Humphreys says she "could not count" the amount of times she has used Bronglais Hospital's children's ward for their daughter Nel
Dr Prem Kumar Pitchaikani, a consultant paediatrician at Hywel Dda health board, said there are "some specific and additional staffing pressures" at the children's ward as it prepares for "a difficult winter".According to a report presented to the board, the ward had been "operating at risk" since the beginning of 2024 because of "shortfalls in the availability of paediatric nurses".
Cerys said they've been receiving a lot of care out of Bronglais Hospital since her 20-week scan where they picked up on a cleft lip. "It really hurt when I read that this could potentially be the reality for all the community that have to travel and then it made me think, what about the single parents, with multiple children? How would they navigate it?"
The hospital's director, Dr Robin Ghosal, said that parents with a very sick child or someone with an acute illness should not be going to the MIU.Hywel Dda health board also approved the decision to close nine beds at Tregaron Hospital in Ceredigion after reducing the amount from 15 last year.
