Award to Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantristant

Wednesday, July 23, 2003

An international award for services to parents and babies has been made to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantristant. Welsh health minister Jane Hutt presented staff at the hospital with the UNICEF Baby Friendly Initiative Award in recognition of the role played by midwives in providing breastfeeding advice. In May, the Welsh Assembly appointed a breastfeeding co-ordinator to improve rates of breastfeeding by working with health professionals and voluntary groups to support mothers. The daycare setting's name, address and inspection report will be published on the Ofsted website. But if the provider has a good reason for wanting the name, address and report withheld, such as being based on a military site or in a women's refuge, Ofsted will consider doing so.
