PATIENTS were not prepared to live up to their name when faced with a possible 10-hour wait at Withybush Hospital s Accident and Emergency department. People were unwilling to put up with the forecast waiting time, according to a Western Telegraph reader who recently snapped the 10-hour sign for evidence. Waiting times are extremely ridiculous in the A&E department, it has gone up from six hour wait to a ten hour wait, with people just giving up and walking out, they commented. However, health chiefs have emphasised that this kind of waiting times are not the norm, and that Withybush now has a same day emergency care unit to help cut down the time that people have to wait.

“The UHB has received updated information from CCC confirming that some rates had not previously been accounted for; these have now been reflected in the uplift shown in February 2021,” states the response. It adds: “The information provided is based on current forecasted costs for the financial year 2020/21, which includes all revenue running costs associated with Ysbyty Enfys Carreg Las Field Hospital, Ysbyty Enfys Aberteifi and Aberystwyth Field Hospitals. They reflect costs on an accruals basis i.e. costs may be accounted for before cash is paid out to Bluestone and Ceredigion County Council.” Bluestone’s contract has now ended, with reinstatement costs incorporated within 2020/21 figures, and the health board says it does not anticipate any further costs for the Ceredigion field hospitals.
