- The demand for Urgent and Emergency Care services has stayed about the same between Nov–Dec 2023 and Nov–Dec 2024.
- Fewer people are going to Prince Philip Hospital MIU, (mainly because it’s closed overnight).
- PPH Acute Medical Assessment Unit (which provides emergency care for very sick adult medical patients, such as those who have suffered a stroke or heart attack) is seeing about the same number of patients as before.
- The number of serious cases coming to Prince Philip Hospital MIU has gone down.

Phone calls to NHS 111 Wales, where people can get advice on self-care or where to access care from, show:
- A slight rise in overall calls since the temporary change.
- A small drop in 111 calls being sent to Prince Philip Hospital MIU, which makes sense since it’s closed overnight.
- More 111 calls being sent to 999 or emergency departments, likely because serious cases that used to go to Prince Philip MIU at night are going elsewhere.
- No increase in Llanelli patients going to Morriston Hospital.
