What is wrong with the current Glangwili and Withybush hospitals, can't you put the investment into both those hospitals?

This would not address the problems we have with maintaining our medical rota, nor some of the problems we have with the buildings, particularly at Glangwili Hospital.

Whilst we have upgraded our current hospitals to keep them safe and functional, they do not address the fundamental service re-design necessary for us to meet modern healthcare standards in the future. For example, our theatres are too small, we do not have enough single rooms, nor facilities that support rehabilitation, such as in wards.

In our PBC the “do minimum” option estimates we could spend up to £655m on our buildings and still not be able to provide the standards required to deliver modern healthcare or the flexibility needed for the future.
