I recently had to visit a relative in Morriston Hospital. The new structural design looks very impressive and there are cafés and shops to cater for most patient and visitors needs.

Without doubt, this establishment now covers a huge part of the landscape in the Morriston area, and attracts patients from all parts of the country, to be cared for and treated by some of the leading names in modern medicine.

However, the biggest challenge I faced on this particular day was parking. It took me just over 25 minutes to find a space.

Along with about 20 other drivers, I seemed to go round and round in circles with not a parking space in sight.

I was beginning to think it would be easier to have been flown in by helicopter as the helipad seemed to have the only free parking space!

Clearly, the hospital is getting busier by the day and ongoing development is on the cards to facilitate our health and wellbeing needs – well, if we can manage to find a place to park anyway!
