Two wards at Glangwili Hospital are currently temporarily closed to admissions and visitors due to separate outbreaks of infectious conditions.
Steffan Ward Glangwili is managing an outbreak of influenza (flu) and Cadog Ward is managing an outbreak of scabies.
The health, safety and wellbeing of our patients, visitors and staff is our priority. We are following national guidance and have taken additional steps to reduce the risk of infection spreading.
Our Infection Prevention and Control Team is working closely with ward teams and hospital management to minimise any impact on services and to prevent further spread with reviews planned for next week to assess when the wards can reopen.

We’re seeking views on a preferred proposal to develop a dedicated adult Section 136 Place of Safety suite at Cwm Seren, St David's Park, Carmarthen.

A Section 136 Place of Safety provides a safe environment where people experiencing a mental health crisis can receive assessment and support when brought there by police under emergency powers within the Mental Health Act.

We want to hear from service users, carers, staff, partner organisations and members of the public about the proposal, its potential impact, and any suggestions to help address concerns.

🗓️ Engagement runs from 1 September to 26 October 2026
You can share your views by:

✅ Completing an anonymous survey via www.haveyoursay.hduhb.wales.nhs.uk
✅ Emailing: [email protected]
✅ Calling: 0300 303 8322 (option 5)
✅ Requesting a paper copy by calling the number above and returning it via FREEPOST HYWEL DDA HEALTH BOARD

Targeted engagement will also take place with people with lived experience of mental health issues, supported and facilitated by mental health support organisations.

Your feedback will help inform future decisions about the provision of Section 136 Place of Safety services across Hywel Dda.

For minor injuries, illnesses and ailments that need treatment today but are not life-threatening, we have a few services that can help. Please visit https://hduhb.nhs.wales/healthcare/hospitals-and-centres/minor-injury-units-miu/ for more information.
