P-05-846 Save our Hospital at Prince Philip Llanelli – Correspondence from the Petitioner to the Committee, 03.01.19

Thank you for looking at our petition again.

It would be useful if we could address the committee to express and explain ours and the residents of Llanelli views but ask this petition is debated in the Syndd

We have met with Steve Moore the CEO of Hywel Dda Health Board and members of his team and he has given us similar answers to the points he makes to you. However, he was unable to answer a number of our queries.

We can find no evidence of a Risk Assessment being carried out by the LHB or Welsh Ambulance Services Trust

Midwife led unit currently based at PPH being moved to a ste 42 miles away

No dedicated ambulance for PPH

Loss of mental health facilities in Llanelli

The board expressed their concern on Llanelli residents self presenting themselves to Swansea hospitals but have no plans for this.

A perfect example of this was myself only 7 weeks ago. After suffering a mild heart attack in my home my partner took me to Morriston Hospital as it was the closest and easier for visitors to come and see me.

The proposed new Hospital would have be 42 miles away on poor roads and would have taken around a hour

Morriston is 12 miles from house via the M4 and takes 25 minutes.

Thanks

Can we please add the planned wellness centre in Llanelli forms a large part of the health board plan.  This project has recently been suspended due to a number of investigations taking place and a number of key personnel suspended

SOSPPAN wonder what alternatives does the health board have in place

Many thanks
