Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 2:33 pm on 1 December 2021.
Thank you very much. I am aware that the situation is causing concern for people who live in the Albert Road area and in Saltmead and Pentyrch and that's why the health board is looking into this situation. Of course, in terms of Albert Road, the people who attend that surgery will be able to continue to go there until 18 March, after which they will have access to another practice in the local area.
As you say, in terms of Pentyrch, I know they've been working with a third party to see where they will be able to build new premises, and of course I think it's important that people do take part in that consultation and that their voices are heard. And also in terms of Saltmead Medical Centre, services will be closing, as you say, on 25 February next year. What's happening is that the local teams and the local health board are very aware of the situation and they're putting things in place to ensure that people get the provision that they need.
