Former Llanelli AM Helen Mary Jones has expressed her shock that accident and emergency at Llanelli's Prince Philip Hospital are likely to be axed under plans to reorganise health services in west Wales.
Hywel Dda Health Board is looking at three options for the delivery of emergency care across the region and none of which include an Accident and Emergency department at Prince Philip Hospital.
Local health campaigner and former Llanelli AM Helen Mary Jones said: "I'm shocked to hear the news that Llanelli could lose Accident and Emergency services at Prince Philip. It saddens me particularly when the people of Llanelli were promised that all services would be retained by Labour politicians during May's election campaign. When Plaid was in power we ensured that as part of the agreement with the Labour party we would maintain Accident and Emergency services at Prince Philip. Plaid ensured that investment came to Llanelli and it was during our period of government people saw the opening of a £6.6m breast care unit. Now Labour are a minority government they have given the green light to downgrading hospital services."
