Angela Burns AM – the Shadow Health Minister – has today (April 20) welcomed the opening of Cardiff’s Nightingale-type field hospital at the Principality Stadium in the Welsh capital.
His Royal Highness Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales officially opened the 2,000-bed hospital via video link.
Mrs Burns said:
“The ‘Dragon’s Heart’ hospital is an outstanding example of collaborative work, bringing together so many different professions and people to repurpose the stadium in such a short time.
“It is a magnificent testament that goes to show how well we can all come together when we absolutely need to.
“We are not through this pandemic yet, but if we all continue to heed the instructions to ‘Stay home, save lives, and protect the NHS’ the ‘Dragon’s Heart’ may be repurposed again to help the NHS recover and restore the many services and procedures currently on hold .”
