Hospital is memorial

In 1922 local people raised the money and purchased Cardigan's Priory.

They wanted it to be opened as a hospital to be a memorial to those who gave their lives for their country in the First World War. That's why it was called Cardigan Memorial Hospital.

Presumably, some carelessness has deprived their descendents of any ownership in the hospital and it's future.

They are being dictated to by bureaucrats whose interest seems not to extend beyond the bottom line and nowhere have I seen a single mention as to whether the site will remain as a memorial to those brave men.

What a short memory we all have.
