Calls made for new military medical centres in Wales
Monday 16th March 2009
Medical jobs may be created in Wales if calls for new military medical centres are heeded.
A number of independent chapels in Carmarthen have made the plea to the assembly government and Ministry of Defence (MoD) to consider opening facilities in Wrexham and Llandeilo, the BBC reports.
According to the chapel members, having to travel to medical centres in England is an extra burden for injured troops and their families.
They pointed out that although the Royal Welsh, the Welsh Guards, and the Queen's Dragoon Guards recruit heavily in Wales, none of the MoD's 33 medical facilities are located in the country.
Responding to the calls, a Welsh assembly government spokesperson said: "The health minister is concerned to ensure that returning military personnel are given the best possible care and keeps these matters under constant review."
Recently, plans for a new medical centre in Berrow were given the go-ahead, the Burnham & Highbridge Weekly News reported.
