With the hospital consultation starting this week, I will be telling the Health Board in no uncertain terms that we absolutely must keep a proper general hospital at Prince Philip, with a full range of services.
Llanelli is by far the largest town in the Hywel Dda area, so I am very concerned indeed to see an option in the consultation that would downgrade services at Prince Philip. People cannot be expected to travel miles.
I know I do not need to remind people here in Llanelli to respond to the consultation and make sure that our voices are heard loudly and clearly.
