AN APPLICATION that will see a new 64-bed mental health unit built at Glan Clwyd Hospital is to be considered by Denbighshire’s planning committee. The new multi-million pound facility, which also includes a multi storey car park, will be built at the rear of the hospital opposite the existing pathology department, on the former carpark. It will replace the care currently provided at the hospital’s Ablett Unit which is deemed ‘no longer fit for purpose’. Outline planning permission is sought for the development. The application is recommended for approval. A final report into plans, to be presented to members, states: “The new building would provide a replacement facility for the existing Ablett Unit which delivers inpatient adult psychiatric and mental health services. The proposed mental health unit would provide 64 patient beds.
