LABOUR Party members from across Pembrokeshire have said they will campaign against the removal of services from Withybush Hospital.

This Saturday (April 28), members will demonstrate outside the hospital, from 11am until 1pm.

A spokesman said: "As a result of the ongoing consultation with regard to the review of health service provision within the county, Labour Party members will be holding a demonstration at Withybush Hospital opposing the possible downgrading of Withybush General Hospital by Hywel Dda Local Health Board. 

"Any such proposal is strongly opposed by the Constituency Labour Party and we will be campaigning against any such moves by Hywel Dda to remove/downgrade current services provided by the hospital and provide them outside of Pembrokeshire."

More than 17,000 have so far signed a petition calling on the health board and the health secretary to come up with a new plan for Withybush - one that would see A&E in Pembrokeshire maintained.

On Friday, May 18, a meeting will take place in Letterson, and the health board has also confirmed a third meeting will take place in Haverfordwest, with a date and location to be confirmed.
