Chairman’s report October 2022 to September 2023,
We have held a number of Friends meeting during the year but have been very disappointed that most of the promised meetings with Hywel Dda have been postponed. Sadly there have been a number of changes of personnel in the Trust which has meant that we have not had the regular updates on the progress of the promised Hub at the hospital.
It was decided to split the discussion into different groups. Firstly the Here and Now group, to discuss the more immediate issues that could be resolved to increase access to services at the hospital. Another main group were to discuss what we would like for the future Hub, with the addition of a number of very welcome services to be offered locally. Committee member Cllr Handel Davies has done an excellent job of getting the promise of the recently vacated primary school for the use of the Hub at a peppercorn rent.
A number of meetings at the start saw us visited by a number of different service providers across the Trust. Here and Now saw the introduction of one or two new clinics which will be a great asset to those previously having to travel across the county to access these.
We have been very frustrated that our newly refurbished X ray facility has been underused and have been trying hard to resolve this. We were very frustrated then to be told that because of changes to how X ray’s will be taken and sent to the doctors across the trust we were being asked to pay another large amount to upgrade. We objected on two grounds, firstly it would be very hard to justify such a large sum on an underused facility. Secondly if, as the hope is, that some of the facilities at the hospital will be moved to the new build at the “school site” would we have to pay out again for that.
Relationship with the staff at the hospital remains good. However we are frustrated that we are still unable to meet back at the hospital, since COVID. We have purchased two new large televisions for the wards. We have purchased 16 new, more usable bedside lockers and 5 new hybrid power system mattresses. We have recently put an order for new over bed signs for patient information.
With a few new members on the committee to replace those who have stepped down, we look forward to working together and seeing more progress in the coming year.
As always we are very grateful for the excellent support we get from the wide community. Huw Rees Chairman.
