Paul Davies AM has recently taken part in a Welsh Conservative debate on accident and emergency departments in the Assembly Chamber. The debate, tabled by the Welsh Conservatives called on the Welsh Government to ensure that all Accident and Emergency departments will be adequately resourced, and that none will be downgraded or closed during the remainder of the Fourth Assembly.
Paul Davies said, "I was pleased to take part in a debate which brought Accident and Emergency services to the forefront of the Assembly agenda. My constituents are greatly concerned about the future of services at Withybush hospital, because of the messages that they have received from the local health board in the past. The Welsh Government must also recognise that the one-size-fits-all method is not suitable for all areas, particularly areas like Pembrokeshire, and the local health board and the Welsh Government must ensure that any changes in their services reflect that."
"I hope that the Welsh Government will ensure that there is a fully functional accident and emergency department at Withybush hospital. The Welsh Government must now offer leadership on this issue and ensure that we do not see the closure or the downgrading of accident and emergency departments in the future."
