What has happened so far

In February 2022, we sent a Programme Business Case (PBC) to Welsh Government. A PBC is a high-level document, which sets out to secure Welsh Government support for a programme of investment. You can read the full PBC document here [opens in new window]

The development of our new hospital is subject to this Welsh Government support, and, if funding was not agreed, we would not be able to purchase the site for the new hospital.

Our PBC seeks the greatest investment into health and well-being that west Wales will have ever seen, in the region of £1.3billion. It builds on our promise to bring as much care as possible close to you, including building or developing lots of community facilities (listed on page 7), repurposing of Withybush and Glangwili Hospitals, refurbishment of Bronglais Hospital and Prince Philip Hospital, as well as building a new Urgent and Planned Care Hospital.

If successful in this first stage, there are then three further stages, which could take several years, to secure the ultimate investment needed to deliver the facilities listed on page 7. We have decided to consult with you on the potential site for a new Urgent and Planned Care Hospital now, prior to receiving investment, because we have committed to continuous engagement with you and because our services are fragile, and we cannot lose time in delivering our vision.
