Research has shown that we spend four days a year searching for a car parking space – unless you’re in Swansea Morriston hospital car park, then it’s four days a week!

No doubt, it will continue to be for years to come as the challenges faced with parking seem to be increasing on a regular basis.

Millions have been spent on new buildings and improved services, which it provides for thousands of patients in Wales and beyond.

The Morriston site is home to many unsung heroes, with a passion for making a difference, despite being grossly underfunded.

The overworked staff are stretched to the limit, but still manage to do a great job, many of whom perform at a level over and above the normal call of duty.

Last week, it was announced that the infamous ‘bubble tunnel’ was being demolished.

A tunnel that resembled that of the NASA space centre, built to link the old hospital with the new. Something I personally have memories of as a child.

Yes, the heat in that tunnel in the summer was reminiscent of my grandfather’s greenhouse.

So what’s the difference between DFS and the NHS?

Well, apparently you’ll find more beds in DFS!
