Temporary closure of maternity and neonatal services at Princess of Wales Hospital
Beginning in September this year, we will be undertaking some urgent and essential improvement works to our neonatal and maternity units at Princess of Wales Hospital. This £1m investment in the future of both units will ensure that we are able to continue to offer safe and effective care for our families.
During the 12 weeks period in which the work will be undertaken, we will be unable to maintain business continuity across the site, and so both the maternity and neonatal teams will be relocated for a short period of time, away from Princess of Wales Hospital.
We fully appreciate that for many families in the Bridgend area, this may cause concern. Your key point of contact is your community midwife, who will be able to advise you on the options available to you for the birth of your baby. We have also published a frequently asked questions document, which we hope will answer many of your questions.
This work demonstrates a significant investment our neonatal and maternity services at the Princess of Wales site which will be used by families in our communities in the future.
