In accordance with our expectations, and the policy for all health boards, Hywel Dda University Health Board is developing their six-point plan for emergency care, and this includes the whole accident and emergency care, from primary care to health services, and social care in the community, which is at the heart of our communities. The priority of the health board is to maintain safe services. The health board continues to work through the details of its plans. It's engaging with stakeholders, patients, carers, citizens and partners to help to shape these proposals, and I encourage anyone who has an interest to continue to participate in that process. 

Of course, I understand the concerns that people have on a local level in Pembrokeshire about Withybush hospital, so I want to be entirely clear that the hospital will continue to play an important role in the future of healthcare services in that area. We can't keep everything as it is and also secure the change required. It is misleading to suggest that that is a possibility.

Every day, I am told where the greatest pressures on the NHS in Wales are, and Hywel Dda appears on that list regularly. Every day, despite the heroic efforts of staff, people are waiting longer than they would wish to because it's difficult to recruit to Withybush hospital. For the large number of people in west Wales who are awaiting surgery, the ability to separate emergency cases from planned care would be a positive step forward. And once again, may I remind the Conservatives that they ask us to do more of this continually? You're constantly asking us to do this, and this would allow us to do it. It means that there isn't so much disruption on planned surgery.
