Our emergency departments in Royal Glamorgan, Prince Charles and Princess of Wales hospitals are all very busy.

We hope you stay safe and well but if you do need help and it is not life-threatening or an emergency, please try another service instead.

The most seriously injured and ill patients are prioritised at our A&Es. This means that, even if you are there before someone else, if you have a less serious condition, you will likely face an extended wait.
