While the constituency AMs of Ceredigion & Pembrokeshire are fighting for their respective Hospitals what does Llanelli's A.M. do? Complaining that ambulances are taking patients to Carmarthen RATHER THAN MORRISTON.
Shoudn't he be fighting for patients to be taken to Prionce Phillip Hospital in Llanelli. whenever possible!
Keith Davies:
"For some reason, perhaps
a financial one, more patients from Llanelli
are transferred to Glangwili General Hospital
than to Morriston Hospital, although
Morriston Hospital is closer. Should not
patients be taken to the closest appropriate
hospital and not to a hospital that is further
away just because it is in the local health
board area? I will be meeting the chair of the
ambulance service in Wales on Friday to
emphasise this. It is common sense to cut
down on the length of journeys to save
money. I will emphasise that on Friday."
