There is also a larger, purpose- built treatment area for patients (including an isolation facility), a counselling/quiet room, a dedicated multi-disciplinary room with video-conferencing facilities which could reduce the need for staff and potentially patients to travel; increased consultant
treatment
rooms; a patient reception point and additional waiting areas. The estimated total cost of the
project is in the region of £926,000, with the balance being met by the University Health Board’s discretionary capital monies. In addition, more than £312,000
has been raised for Phase 2 of the project to rebuild Ward 10 by the Health Board’s Pembrokeshire Cancer Services Fund and Elly’s Ward 10 Flag Appeal. The unit, which was officially
opened on Saturday by HM Lord-Lieutenant of Dyfed Sara Edwards, is a tribute to the people of Pembrokeshire and the charities who have made it possible through their generosity and fundraising
efforts, and was designed by staff and shaped together with patients, healthcare professionals, hospital managers, fundraisers and key stakeholders, including Hywel Dda Community Health Council, Adam’s Bucketful of Hope, Withybush Hospital Cancer Day Unit Appeal and Pembrokeshire Cancer Support. Bernardine Rees, OBE, Chair
of Hywel Dda University Health Board, warmly welcomed patients and their families, charity and fundraising representatives, staff and partners. She said: “I’m delighted that
so many people have come along today to see the new facilities for themselves and discover what this exciting new development will bring to the people of Pembrokeshire. “I give my heartfelt thanks
to everyone involved in this development – it’s a wonderful achievement which will benefit our local population for many years to come.” Bernie George, Trustee of Withybush Hospital Cancer Day
Unit Appeal, said: “We are so pleased to have played our part in making this happen and it was great that so many of the people and organisations who have donated significant funds to our appeal were able to be with us to celebrate the opening. “Our charity was also pleased
to be able to provide the unit with a series of Pembrokeshire wall prints and two very innovative glass wall art pieces which we hope patients and their families will appreciate when they visit.” Dr
Iain Robertson-Steel,
Hospital Director, said: “This new facility is a great asset for Withybush Hospital and for Pembrokeshire and we look forward to welcoming patients into the unit from Monday (Feb 6). “I wish to express my
sincere gratitude to our staff, partners, charity and fundraising representatives in the local community who have made this happen for our local population.”
