Nia Griffith MP said:

“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. And, if need be, I’ll be taking the fight all the way to Welsh Government.

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.”
