The Royal Glamorgan Hospital, near Llantrisant has around 570[3] beds and provides a comprehensive range of in-patient, day case and outpatient facilities together with Accident and Emergency and Diagnostic facilities. The Acute Mental Health Unit is also based on the Royal Glamorgan site. There are a range of Critical Care services including Intensive Care Unit, High Dependency Unit, Special Care Baby Unit and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. There are also nine Operating Theatres. State of the art facilities are provided within the Radiology Department and the hospital is close to being film less with digital images and reports available to clinicians across the site. The Pathology service is also modern and well staffed using specialist equipment. Modern innovations have been introduced to enable authorised results to be viewed on computer screens in all wards and clinics.
In February 2007 the Hospital declared a "special emergency" because it was overwhelmed for 3 days, with up to seven Ambulances queuing outside, and patients waiting to be admitted for up to two hours because there was a severe shortage of beds.[4] Something experienced by many hospitals is south wales during the same period.
