A DOLGELLAU councillor has thanked hospital staff in Aberystwyth for looking after her during a recent stay.
Dolgellau South councillor, Linda Morgan, who was recently admitted to Bronglais Hospital in Aberystwyth with pneumonia and a chest infection, is full of praise for Hywel Dda staff, and would also like to thank the 111 and the Welsh Ambulance Service.
Cllr Morgan said: “A big thank you to Aberystwyth Hospital, Hywel Dda, for the excellent care I had in my recent stay there.
“Last week I had pneumonia and a chest infection, and was quite poorly and in a lot of pain.
“Special thanks to NHS 111, This service is great for advice.
“I was passed on to the ambulance in minutes, which then arrived in about 10 minutes; they were based in Porthmadog. The crew was brilliant, efficient and kind.
“I was treated for the pain in the ambulance, which made me comfortable.”
Linda added: “We arrived at A&E and went straight in for admission.
“The care was outstanding.
“All the staff are so dedicated to the care of their patients.”
After assessment in A&E, Cllr Morgan was moved to Banwy Ward.

Cllr Morgan told the Cambrian News she feels “feel life is precious”.
“I have had four different cancers and I am very lucky to have had such excellent care,” she added.
Cllr Morgan said her work as a Gwynedd councillor will continue while she recovers fully at home, but by email only.

“I can be contacted by phone or e mail and will attend some meetings via Zoom.
“I will not be travelling or have any site meetings for the rest of this term, but do not hesitate to contact me regarding council matters.”
