St David's Hospice Care hosted the official opening of it's £5m, 15-bed inpatient unit at its Blackett Avenue, Malpas, base, when Vaughan Gething, cabinet secretary for health, wellbeing and sport, unveiled a plaque to commemorate the occasion before shown around and spending time speaking to patients. The unit took in its first patients in June, including those transferred from the former St Anne's Hospice inpatient unit, less than half a mile away. The latter was a 10-bed unit run by St David's Hospice Care since 2013, when it took over services run by St Anne's.
