New life-saving equipment for Swansea's Morriston Hospital and Bridgend's Princess of Wales Hospital

MORRISTON Hospital's emergency department will get new life-saving equipment as part of a Welsh Government investment. 

Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board (ABMU) will receive £1.2 million in total for new medical and IT equipment. 

The cash is paying for new defibrillators at Morriston's A&E and patient beds in the plastics and burns unit. 

There will also be a £750,000 investment in the health board's IT services, and following the installation of a wireless network in Morriston, the cash will help provide more mobile devices on its wards.

Push Mangat, interim medical director at ABMU, said: "We welcome this investment from the Welsh Government in supporting the infrastructure within our Health Board with both medical and IT equipment.  We believe it will have a significant contribution on improving patient safety in many ways."

Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend will also receive around half a million pounds which will provide new equipment including patient monitors. 

Announcing the funding, Welsh Health Minister Lesley Griffiths, said: "Delivering safe, sustainable, high-quality NHS services means having access to the latest technology on wards, so that staff can provide better, more integrated care. I'm delighted to announce the funding."
