🏥 Morriston Hospital’s A&E is facing ‘extreme pressure’ due to a surge in winter illnesses like flu. Swansea Bay health board urges residents to think twice before heading to the Emergency Department unless it’s a serious or life-threatening situation.
Remember, there are other options for care. Check the 111 Wales website for symptoms and advice, consult your GP, or visit a local pharmacy for common ailments. For urgent dental issues, contact your dentist or call 111 if you’re not registered. Minor Injuries Unit at Neath Port Talbot Hospital is available for non-serious injuries for anyone aged one and up.
For mental health support, a team is available 24/7 via 111, option 2, offering free support in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.
