Withybush hospital plan 'let down' for St Davids rugby club

Far-reaching changes to west Wales hospitals have been set out by Hywel Dda health board.

Each of the three options involve Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest losing its status as a round-the-clock general hospital.

Glangwili hospital in Carmarthen would also stand to lose key services including A&E.

But a new hospital, including an A&E, would be built somewhere near the Carmarthenshire-Pembrokeshire border.

St Davids Rugby Club in Pembrokeshire said it would feel "extremely let down" if Withybush became just a community hospital.

Club president John Williams said they already faced what could be a difficult journey along the coast - but are worried about the A&E moving to a new hospital further east in the region.
