P-4-424 Retain services at Neath Port Talbot Hospital- Correspondence from the petitioner to the Committee, 15.04.13

Re Committee Meeting 30th April.
The situation locally remains the same with ambulances waiting outside Morriston A/E. See attached photograph which was taken on the 9th April when there was ten hour wait outside Morriston A/E and fourteen ambulances were queuing up outside. The removal of services from NPT hospital must surely be adding to the pressure on ambulance, nursing and medical staff at Morriston
It should also be noted that Tina Donelly of the Rcn and representatives of the Junior doctors were also reported in the Western Mail last week, stating that their representatives were finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the demands in the service.
Thank you for keeping me informed
