Rejected petition Save the A + E department at the Princess of Wales hospital, Bridgend
More details
If the planned closure of the A+E department at the P.O.W hospital, Bridgend goes ahead, patients from Bridgend, Porthcawl and surrounding areas will be at risk of not reaching an A+E department in time.
It will also put extra stress on the Ambulance service, with journey times from Bridgend to Cardiff of 35mins/ up to an hour during peak times. Patients in Porthcawl would face a minimum journey of 35 mins to Swansea on a stretch of motorway with a 50mph limit, only 2 lanes and frequent gridlock around Port Talbot.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
This is a devolved matter for the Welsh Government and it would not be appropriate for HMG to have a position on this.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
