In the first fortnight of the Big NHS Change consultation, Hywel Dda University Health Board has heard that residents want more public drop-in events to hear about the proposals to change the way that the health board provide local healthcare services.

Hywel Dda is asking residents across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, as well as the wider cross-border regions, to get involved and have your say on three proposals to improve the way we provide care for our population.

Due to high demand an extra date has been arranged at Tumble Hall on Monday, July 9 from 2pm until 7pm for anyone who would like to speak with to clinicians.

Hywel Dda Chief Executive Steve Moore said: “I’d like to personally thank everyone who has taken the time to provide feedback on our proposals to change the way we provide local healthcare services across the three counties.

“Our public drop-in events have been especially well attended so far and as a reflection of this I’m pleased to announce these new dates to ensure that as many people as possible can continue to get involved and talk to our doctors, nurses and therapists about their views.

“Don’t forget – if you want your voice to be heard it’s also vitally important that you fill in our questionnaire – you can find this and other resources on our website at www.hywelddahb.wales.nhs.uk/hddchange.”
