MEMBERS of the ‘Save Withybush’ Facebook page have launched a petition to help preserve services at Withybush General Hospital.
In order to get this issue discussed at The Senedd in Cardiff Bay, the petition needs over 10,000 signatures.
Created by Jaqueline Doig, the petition says: “Moving care out of county puts adults & children at risk of poor outcomes or even death. It wastes crucial time, when time is not on our side.”
“[Hywel Dda University Health Board] may infer that the “Golden Hour” is no longer relevant, with better equipped ambulances & higher trained staff, but that is dependent on an ambulance being available to help & give that immediate care.
“That is increasingly not the case, as ambulances fail to attend, as they are being sent out of county, unable to offload and unable to return to county, to give the help needed.”
“We have lost faith & trust in HDUHB and do not believe that they are working in the best interests of Pembrokeshire.”
You can find the petition here.
