Miles to be plastered

No one is debating the quality of care in withybush hospital, Drs and nurses do a wonderful job everywhere. It is the powers that be that want to close smaller local hospital AEcentres,making us travel further and taking longer to get maybe critical accident treatment,where time maybe of the essence !(Not to mention in this day of trying to cut global pollution,making miles more of emmisions!) The population is increasing, we need more local emergency treatment centres not less. In my case (though not critical) I broke my ankle 2 years ago,went to Cardigan hospital, where they x rayed it, but said they couldnt plaster it there! Ihad to get a pal to drive me 30 miles to Withybush to get it plastered, which seemed ridiculous to me.! M.Trott Tegryn.
