Memorial bench for much loved hospital porter at Prince Phillip Hospital

A memorial bench has been placed in the Pharmacy’s Quadrant of Prince Philip Hospital in memory of Porter Paul Maulkin, who sadly died this year.

Paul’s porter team raised over £1,700 by collecting money from different departments in the hospital to go towards buying the bench and a plaque in his memory.

Left over money from the collection was donated to the breast cancer unit at the hospital by decision of Paul’s family.

Owen Jenkins, Porter and Paul’s shift partner at Prince Philip Hospital said: “We wish to extend a big thank you to anyone who donated money in Paul’s memory. Paul was always so loved by everyone. He had a big heart, and we all thought the world of him.

“He always so easy to talk to, if you were stressed about anything, he would always put you at ease.”

Paul worked as a porter in Prince Philip Hospital for over 15 years. The health board have said that he will be dearly missed by colleagues and friends at Hywel Dda.
