Vale of Glamorgan MP Alun Cairns has written to the Cardiff and Vale Health Board over the concerns of the future of Barry Hospital.
Following the Health Board's Report on the outcome of their engagement on 'Improving Care For Frail Older People' in the Vale, which included proposals to close the Sam Davies Ward at Barry Hospital, Alun welcomed the news that the Ward will remain open.
During the engagement, our community made clear that we would not accept cuts to local health services. While this is good news, Alun has highlighted that there are outstanding issues that must be addressed to secure the long term future of Barry Hospital and has written to the Chief Executive to raise some of the concerns that remain and will continue to support Barry Hospital.
