    Have Your Say on proposed temporary changes to health services in Powys

    Powys Teaching Health Board is proposing implementing some temporary changes to two services.   They are:

    • Minor Injury Units (Brecon and Llandrindod Wells) 
    • Our community hospital model

    As a health board, our core mission is to provide and commission safe services that offer the best outcomes for patients. These are changes we are proposing putting in place on a temporary basis.  They are required to optimise the care of all patients; safeguard the services; improve resilience where it is currently fragile; reduce inefficiencies and respond to staffing and budgetary pressures.
