Built in 1861-62, the Swansea Workhouse in Mount Pleasant was where the poor, homeless and destitute lived in deliberately harsh conditions, working in exchange for basic food and shelter. Families were split up, conditions kept grim, and inmates forced to do gruelling tasks - all designed to make sure only the truly desperate would seek help. After becoming Mount Pleasant Hospital in 1929 and serving the NHS from 1948 until closing in 1995, it was converted into housing. #swansea | Swansea Scoo

Work is taking place to bring two former care homes back into temporary use to further increase the number of social care beds in Swansea. Swansea Council has already increased residential care capacity in the city by 35 since the coronavirus crisis began but this will allow even more beds to open, supporting the NHS and saving lives. It means that patients who are well enough to be discharged from hospital can be moved without unnecessary delay, thereby easing the pressure on the NHS at an extr
