There are fewer beds in llandough than whitchurch had
The staff in the new unit are overworked and vary in their attitude towards those with mental health problems , the initial assessment team were ok but once you are transferred to a ward it's a different matter , some of the nurses were kind and caring , others sat there and ignored people in distress
The unit may be newly built but it certainly has many faults ......
How do you know it certainly meets the needs of people in the local area ?
What facts do you base this on ?........I don't mean a few stories about so and so
The patient advocacy service was dealing with several complaints when I was in there
The crisis team has to cover Cardiff, penarth , Barry , llantwit major, cowbridge and the rural vale reaching right up to Bridgend ......it's the role of the crisis team to prevent people going into hospital in the first place , I know of a young woman of 19 who was seriously ill and needed to be in hospital yet had to wait 24 hours for the crisis team to get back to her
What are you basing your comments .......the new unit certainly meets the needs of people in the area ......on ?
The evidence from service users , voluntary sector organisations and mental health advocates is not in line with your statement
