Decision to move stroke unit called into question

Merthyr Express

|

June 12, 2025

CALLS have been made for a health board to review the decision to move a stroke unit away from Merthyr Tydfil, with councillors highlighting the “severe challenges” that stroke patients are facing.

A notice of motion from the Independent group going to full council in Merthyr on Wednesday raises concerns about the impact moving the acute stroke unit from Prince Charles Hospital in Gurnos to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant is having.

It says reports indicate patients are experiencing delays receiving critical care, exacerbating their conditions and increasing the risk of long-term disability.
