What discussions has the Minister had with Hywel Dda University Health Board regarding re-opening Tenby's Minor Injuries Unit?
The provision of minor injuries services in Tenby is the responsibility of Hywel Dda University Health Board and I have had no discussions with the board on this specific issue.
Following the successful pilot over Easter 2016, I understand the health board discussed the development of a business case to support a nurse-led walk-in service at Tenby Hospital at its July 2016 Board meeting.
I am told the health board’s Business Planning Performance and Assurance Committee is scheduled to discuss this issue on 10 January 2017, where this service development will be considered alongside other service priorities. Following that, the business case will be considered by the Board at the public board meeting to be held on 26 January 2017.
