Penarth Healthcare Partnership is setting up a “Patient Participation Group” which looks to “help contribute to the development of health services locally”. PPG’s are run by volunteer patients and practice staff to help strengthen the relationship between the practice and their patients. A health board spokesperson said: “We are hoping to recruit a small group of motivated and open-minded people. Penarth’s Community Health Clinic stands as a beacon of health provision in the Vale as increasing pressure grows on the health service. The health board released their plan for the coming winter with much of the strategy around trying to avoid people having to be admitted to hospital.
