New HOSPITAL with ALL SERVICES under one roof in Newtown ASAP...24/7 Minor Injury Unit NOW
Bring back medical services such as a Minor Injury Unit open evening/night time and weekends, Bank holidays and the GP's training days. Patients of Newtown and surrounding areas are feed-up for being treated as second class citizens. Newtown needs a New All Under One Roof Medical Centre open 24/7
Why is this important?
The people/patients are feed up of being ignored and watching the health board and Welsh Gov spending money in other areas and leaving the biggest town in Powys without cover in Newtown when the doctors surgery is closed. There is an out of hours service called Shropdoc that are based in Welshpool hospital but don't come to Newtown until midnight. Welshpool also has a MIU, it's 16 miles from Newtown but at night no public transport, slow, single lane roads that make the journey slow.. People feel ignored..second class...worthless ... so many times PtHB made promises but rarely follow through !!!! START PUTTING NEWTOWN FIRST AND NO MORE PROMISES WE WANT ACTION
