History
The facility was opened as the Llandrindod Wells Cottage Hospital and Convalescent Home in 1881.[1] In order to commemorate the lives of local service personnel who had died in the First World War, it was renamed the Llandrindod Wells Hospital and County War Memorial in 1924[2] and joined the National Health Service as the Llandrindod Wells County War Memorial Hospital in 1948.[3] A new 16-bed renal unit opened at the hospital in spring 2012[4] and a new Ithon birthing unit opened there in spring 2017.[5]
