In February Nia took the initiative in setting up a meeting for members of Sosppan, the hospital action committee, with specialist solicitors in Cardiff to discuss using the judicial review process to challenge the way in which the “consultation” was carried out. With strong backing from Llanelli Town and Rural Councils, and still no sign from the Hywel Dda Health Board that they will reconsider their plans for Prince Philip Hospital, the lawyers have now issued the challenge to the Health Board. The idea is that if the consultation is invalid, then the Health Board will have to reconsider its plans.
