Temporary disabled parking access closure: 20–21 January 2026
The disabled parking access shown in this image will be closed from 6pm on 20 January 2026 until 12pm on 21 January 2026 to allow for an urgent crane lift associated with the endoscopy electrical installation.
To minimise disruption, additional disabled parking spaces will be available for the day behind Alaw Ward.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

From Sunday 18 January, a temporary Endoscopy Unit will be positioned in the maternity car park at Ysbyty Gwynedd for a period of approximately five months.
This temporary facility is being introduced to help significantly reduce waiting times for diagnostic endoscopy procedures, supporting patients who have been waiting longer than we would like for important investigations. By increasing endoscopy capacity in this way, the unit will enable us to see more than 1,500 patients during this period, representing a key step in tackling our waiting lists and improving timely access to care for our patients.
The temporary unit is being located on the Ysbyty Gwynedd site because this allows us to safely deliver a wider range of endoscopy procedures. Locating the unit on a non-acute site would significantly limit the breadth of procedures we could offer and reduce the benefit to patients waiting for care.
As a result, there will be a temporary reduction in the number of parking spaces available in the maternity car park. We recognise this will have a noticeable impact on patients, staff and visitors, and are currently working to identify where parking spaces can be provided elsewhere on the hospital site.
We apologise for any disruption this may cause and ask patients, visitors and members of the public to consider alternative methods of transport where possible, or to allow extra time when travelling to the hospital to ensure there is sufficient time to find a parking space ahead of appointments.
We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding while these important measures are put in place to improve access to care for our patients.
