Rejected petition Prevent the downgrading of Withybush General Hospital, Haverfordwest
Rejected on
Hywel Dda Local Health Board has published 3 options for consultation attempting to improve struggling services. All 3 proposals will see Withybush downgraded to a community hospital loosing essential services such as the relatively new A&E which will be a huge risk to people in Pembrokeshire.
Opportunity exists to comment on the proposals via a consultation however the population feel it necessary to submit a petition to address this extremely worrying change.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Health services in Wales are the responsibility of the Welsh Government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
The Welsh Assembly has its own Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Welsh Assembly, you can find out more here:
