Maesteg Community Hospital - Have Your Say

Maesteg and the Llynfi Valley

We know, and have heard again this past week, that Maesteg Community Hospital is important to local people and has been part of the community for generations. The Health Board recognises and respects the legacy of the building and those that built it, and in response to feedback so far wanted to give the following information.

These key factors helped inform the decision to progress a plan for a new Health and Wellbeing Centre at Oakwood Drive, near Ewenny Road.

🏥Age and Condition of the Building

The hospital is more than 110 years old and has served the community well for generations, but modern services need buildings that are:

  • Fit-for-purpose
  • Flexible
  • Easily accessible (including by public transport)
  • Can support the health and wellbeing needs of people of all ages, now and for many years in the future

The condition and layout of the building, and other factors related to the hospital site, as well as the money potentially available, make the redevelopment of the Hospital very challenging.

💙Services That Meet Your Needs

In 2023, you told us about the health and wellbeing services most important for the Llynfi Valley.

We can deliver far more of these services in a modern, accessible and new building. It is not possible to deliver all these services at the current or redeveloped Maesteg Community Hospital.

✅Our proposed services at a new building include:

  • GP Service - Bron-y-Garn Surgery.
  • Urgent Care Centre - Treatment for minor injuries and illnesses, including X-ray facilities.
  • Outpatient Department - A wider range of specialist clinics and appointments.
  • Community Healthcare Services - Including wound care and lymphoedema services.
  • Eye Services (Ophthalmology) - Specialist eye care.
  • Hearing Services (Audiology) - Assessment and hearing support.
  • Community Mental Health Services.
  • Health and Local Authority Services supporting Adults, Children and Families.
  • Community space for organisations to provide support and advice.

❗No decision has been made about its future use.
