CARDIGAN'S hospital scheme must go ahead soon, says Preseli Pembrokeshire AM Paul Davies.

A public meeting called by the Chamber of Trade is being held tomorrow (Weds) to discuss the issue.

Mr Davies wants to see the new hospital built either in the town or close to the outskirts of town – and soon.

"I have made it clear throughout discussions that whatever happens at Bath-house the important thing is that the new hospital is easy to access from North Pembrokeshire and that means having it in or very near to Cardigan," said Mr Davies.

"This issue has been dragging on for too long now and while I agree with everyone having a chance to express their views I do feel that the issue needs to be resolved.
