Teulu Jones - Ben

Ben is three years old and lives with his mum Lianne, and Mamgu and Tadcu, in Tumble,  near Llanelli. Ben is on holiday in Goodwick, Pembrokeshire, when he slips on the steps whilst crabbing. He has a little bump to his head and a cut above his eye. 

Currently, for a minor injury, Ben would go to Withybush Hospital, Haverfordwest. If he needed to stay overnight, he would be transferred toGlangwili Hospital. Doctors may decide to keep him in overnight in case he deteriorates. He may be discharged the next day and any follow-up outpatient appointments would be in Glangwili Hospital, in Carmarthen, which is a 20 minute or so drive away.

If doctors felt he needed an overnight stay in case of deterioration, they would transfer him to the new hospital. He may be discharged the next day.
