Health Board confirms temporary transfer of Gorseinon Hospital inpatient beds to Singleton

The decision, taken at the Board’s monthly meeting on Thursday 25 September, follows weeks of speculation and community concern after Swansea Bay News first revealed the proposals earlier this month.

Safety concerns drive decision

The Health Board said the move was necessary after repeated warnings about staffing levels on Gorseinon’s 30‑bed West Ward, where up to half of shifts were being covered by agency or temporary staff. Senior clinicians, including the Executive Director of Nursing and consultant geriatricians, advised that the situation posed too many risks to patient safety to continue.

By consolidating the beds at Singleton, the Board says staff will be able to support one another more effectively, with access to wider nursing, therapy and medical teams as well as stronger leadership capacity.

Gorseinon Hospital “not closing”

The announcement comes after councillors and local campaigners pressed the case for inpatient services to remain in Gorseinon. The Health Board has again stressed that the hospital itself is not closing, and that a wide range of services will continue on site.

These include musculoskeletal physiotherapy, respiratory and cardiology clinics, the Heart Failure Clinic, community nursing teams, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, phlebotomy, Parkinson’s nurses and health visiting services.

A spokesperson said: “At all times during the discussion on the temporary relocation of the inpatient ward, the ongoing important role of Gorseinon Hospital was emphasised and a commitment made to its long‑term future as a vibrant and important healthcare hub.”

Community engagement promised

The Board has committed to holding a dedicated engagement event in Gorseinon in the New Year as part of its wider Clinical Services Plan. This will give local people the chance to feed into decisions about the long‑term shape of services across Swansea Bay.

In the meantime, discussions are taking place with patients and families affected by the transfer, as well as with staff whose roles will move to Singleton. The transfer is expected to take effect from 1 October.

Councillors vow to keep up pressure

Local councillors, who met with Health Board leaders earlier this month, said they welcomed assurances that Gorseinon Hospital will remain open but would continue to push for inpatient services to return. A petition calling for services to be protected has already attracted hundreds of signatures.
