Lockdown at Withybush Hospital lifted

Lockdown procedures were put in place at Withybush Hospital as a precaution for staff and patient safety earlier today (Tuesday 03 December).

No-one was harmed and police assisted on site. The site followed established lockdown procedures due to a potential threat.

Access to the site and the hospital was restricted for a short period of time. This situation is now resolved and access to site has been re-established.

We would like to thank staff, patients and our partners for their assistance in managing this situation. 

The hospital's Emergency Department is particularly busy and we would ask the public to assist us by using the department for life-threatening emergencies only. If you are unsure what healthcare support you need, you can use the NHS Wales symptom checker online or call NHS 111 Wales for advice (choose option 2 for mental health support).
