TYWYN’S long-awaited hospital redevelopment will officially be finished tomorrow (Thursday) – months after its estimated completion date.

Patients from south Meirionnydd will have access to a wider range of services following the £5 million refurbishment of Tywyn Hospital, Health and Social Services minister Mark Drakeford said during a visit.

Work on the redevelopment project was originally scheduled to end last November, but inclement weather and problems with the site’s electrical infrastructure delayed­ the scheme until spring.

The Welsh Government-funded re­development of Tywyn Hospital brings together a primary care centre, a 16-bed ward, social care and third-sector services.

It is due to be fully operational and accepting patients within the next few weeks.
