Pembrokeshire County Council has scooped an additional £6.5million by the Welsh Government to be invested in building a new integrated health and social care hub in Pembroke.

The grant has been awarded through the social care Integration and Rebalancing Capital Fund (IRCF) for the plans underway at the Pembroke Hwb regeneration project at South Quay.

The Pembroke Hwb will be a modern, accessible social care, health and community hub and supports the region’s aim to build active, resourceful, connected, sustainable and creative communities as we shift away from managing need to creating capability.

Taking an integrated service approach, the Hwb will deliver a multi-generational approach which focusses on the needs and strengths of individuals.

The project had already been awarded £4.1 million of UK Levelling Up Funding bringing the total investment into Pembroke of £10.6 million, with Pembrokeshire County Council providing the balance of funding for the project.

Cabinet Member for Social Care Councillor Tessa Hodgeson said: "I am really pleased that both south Pembrokeshire and health and social care are benefitting from this investment from Welsh Government. The development will represent a significant improvement in access to support to local communities."
