Tenders invited for Cylch Caron

Ceredigion County Council and Hywel Dda University Health Board remain fully committed to the delivery of an Integrated Resource Centre in Tregaron. This scheme will provide an integrated rural model of community care and housing, and provide a replacement for Bryntirion Residential Care Home. This will address the fragility of current service provision at Tregaron Hospital and ensure that care is more readily available to those in need.

The tender for a design and build solution will be developed with the aim of delivering best value for money and modern health, social care and extra-care facilities for current and future generations.

Councillor Alun Williams, Deputy Leader of Ceredigion County Council and Cabinet Member with responsibility for Through Age Wellbeing said: “As partners, we have all committed to keeping this innovative and collaborative project across health, social care and housing moving forward. We have been working tirelessly behind the scenes on the re-tendering process so this is an important milestone that I am very happy to see.”

Peter Skitt, County Director for Ceredigion at Hywel Dda University Health Board said: “Cylch Caron Integrated Resource Centre is an exciting and unique project which aims to offer many opportunities and benefits for people in the area. This is an innovative scheme to bring together a range of services in a focal point for Tregaron and the surrounding rural areas. The project will create an innovative rural model of community-based care to meet health, care and housing needs in the area, which is fit for today and sustainable for tomorrow.”

This is a partnership project between Ceredigion County Council and Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDdUHB), along with Welsh Government. It will consist of a GP surgery, community pharmacy, outpatient clinics and community nursing services, as well as extra care flats and integrated health and social care units.
