Pyle & Kenfig Community First Responders

🌹
Flowers grow in fields so green, where in the past war was seen,
Men shot to pieces by machines of fear, loved one’s left to shed a tear.
Children left with desperate mothers, dead are the fathers, sons, and brothers.
Many of them never found, bodies scattered ore the ground,
The soil drew in the streams of blood, and to the flora it did flood,
Flowers grow in fields so green, nourished by mans blood not seen.

In view of the explosion and fire in Treforest, all major hospitals in South Wales, including Morriston, have been placed on major incident alert. Please avoid attending Morriston Hospital unless you have a very serious illness or injury.

The Minor Injury Unit at Neath Port Talbot Hospital is remaining open this evening (until further notice) to deal with minor injuries.

If you have a relative or loved one who is a patient at Morriston but is ready to be discharged, it would be a significant help if you could arrange to collect them.

We will update as more information becomes available.
