Llywydd, I thank the Member for drawing attention to the work that is still going on in public consultation about the future of a new hospital for Hywel Dda University Health Board. There was a consultation meeting, I understand, in Haverfordwest last week, and there's one planned in Saundersfoot on Friday of this week. It is very important that those public consultation events—. I hope that they will draw together a local support for the plans that the health board has put forward in order to create those new opportunities.

In the meantime, while Hywel Dda, as every part of Wales, faces real pressures in providing healthcare, it did see a reduction of 62 per cent in the number of people waiting over 52 weeks for a first out-patient appointment during the last calendar year. And where there are longer waits, 80 per cent of those are concentrated in just two specialities. Those are the specialities that my colleague, the Minister for Health and Social Services, is placing a particular focus on in her discussions with the service. I can't offer, I'm afraid, just easy answers for the Member's constituents, but what they will know is that the system as a whole is making every effort it can, sustained by additional investment and the focus that the Minister brings to these matters, to bring down waiting lists and to provide services in the way I suggested in my original answer, Llywydd, in those new ways that will improve access for patients, particularly in parts of rural Wales, using everything that we have learnt in recent years.
