• An expansion of the neonatal unit with nine additional cots
• A redeveloped obstetric labour ward with six birthing rooms – one with a pool

"This significant investment will help to deliver the best possible care, in line with expert guidance and standards from specialist bodies including the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the All Wales neonatal network, and will provide extra capacity to meet growing demands for services in the years to come.
"It's a further example of how we are investing in improving healthcare for the future for the people of Wales."
