Leanne Wood Assembly Member for the Rhondda

Rhondda AM Leanne Wood has welcomed the suspension of the consultation over the future of the Accident and Emergency department at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital.

The Rhondda AM has called for a universal basic income to be implemented to get people through the Coronavirus crisis.

The Rhondda Assembly Member has established a community network to look after people during the Coronavirus outbreak.

A health board citing a lack of permanent A&E consultants as the reason for centralising services, has yet to post an advert for one according to a Freedom of Information request.  

Rhondda AM has hosted a public meeting in Treorci to discuss the next steps in the campaign to retain 24 hour consultant services at the main district general hospital serving the Rhondda.

The Rhondda AM has addressed hundreds of people who gathered to protest about the proposed removal of services at the Accident and Emergency department of the Royal Glamorgan Hospital.

The Rhondda AM has put the Labour First Minister on the spot for giving assurances about the future of the Royal Glamorgan’s A&E department last summer.

More than 100 people crammed into Porth Harlequins RFC for a Plaid Cymru-organised meeting on the future of A&E at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital.

Plaid Cymru’s Leanne Wood AM said the proposals would counter the negative perceptions around the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant after being under threat of having consultant-led services removed for the last six years. 

The Rhondda AM has criticised the Labour Government in Wales for the likelihood of the Royal Glamorgan losing 24 hour consultant-led services at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital.
