Dear Editor - Historically, Christine Gwyther has supported the option of single health boards.

Yet now we hear that she would like to merge both the three trusts and health boards in west Wales, meaning "a saving of literally millions of pounds each yearwhich would be spent on direct patient care."

If healthcare services are moved from Withybush, can Ms Gwyther guarantee that work will commence on the A40? Extra journey times to hospital in an emergency can be the deciding factor between life and death.
