LOCAL Senedd Member Paul Davies spoke in a Senedd debate on hospital services and hospital closures, highlighting the Health Board’s recent decision to remove emergency general surgery from Withybush hospital and the proposed shake-up of stroke services in the Hywel Dda area.

Following the debate, Mr Davies said, “Communities across West Wales… want the Welsh Government to intervene and stop the local Health Board from centralising their services further afield – especially when the party of government campaigned against the Health Board’s proposals during the Senedd elections.

“Patients living in Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion deserve safe, accessible healthcare closer to their homes.

“We need urgent intervention from the Welsh Government to safeguard services and ensure they stay put at Withybush and Bronglais hospitals.”
