Talk:Whitchurch, Cardiff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Whitchurch hospital

What is the controversy surrounding Whitchurch hospital referred to in the article text? A quick Google suggests:

• Whitchurch is the largest psychi hospital in Wales
• Someone is building a leisure centre or a garden village on its site (Is it going, shrinking, gone, what?)
• BBC: Patient lay dead for 10 hours (2003)
• BBC: Report questions patients' safety (2004/5)
• BBC: Family anger at 'needless' deaths (2005)

The last three are all to do with the elderly mental services there. I am not sure that "controversial" is really the right word for the article: that makes it sound as though the controversy is about the existence of the hospital (see second story: does that mean it's going, or a new unit being built on the site of the old one?)
