Public could save hospital doctor jobs in Wales

Wednesday 20th October 2010

Plans to close a Cardiff hospital and maternity unit could be stopped, potentially saving hospital doctor jobs in the area, when the public is asked for its views on the controversial proposal.

According to WalesOnline, the eight-week consultation will see local residents share thoughts on a plan to shut the midwife-led unit at Llandough Hospital and close Rookwood Hospital completely.

Paul Hollard, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board's director of planning and chief executive, told the news provider that the decision to close the facilities had not been motivated by money.

"A lot of people will be concerned this is financially driven, but it’s not – this is service driven, although it will provide us with some small savings," he added.

Officials hope that the closure of Llandough's maternity unit will help cement its future as a centre for recovery and recuperation, rather than emergency and acute care, the website reported.

Meanwhile, the British Medical Association has said that patient care in England could be significantly jeopardised if the government goes ahead with planned hospital reforms.
