The report, from Opinion Research Services, includes qualitative data gathered from direct conversations, focus groups and letters from individuals.
Chief Executive Trevor Purt said: “This full report has given us a significant depth and breadth of feedback from our staff, partners, patients and local population. We will use this in our final stages of agreeing options with key stakeholders ahead of the consultation launch in August.
“The consultation document will identify where feedback has shaped options and we hope this will demonstrate that we have listened to the views of our population.”
The report was recently received by the Health Board following an extensive listening and engagement exercise and ongoing feedback on the emerging themes.

No decisions on the future of healthcare delivery have been made and specific options will be announced as part of formal consultation.
The independent authors of the report, ORS, said the exercise had been comprehensive.
Dale Hall, the managing director of Swansea-based ORS said: “The fact that so many survey respondents had encountered Hywel Dda Health Board’s listening engagement process shows how extensive it was.
“Apart from the questionnaire and engagement work ORS carried out, the Health Board held many meetings and publicised the issues widely – so the public, community organisations and staff had many chances to participate and influence the evolution of the Board’s thinking.
“Such a comprehensive programme will always invite some concerns, but taken overall the listening and engagement process has been extremely conscientious, accessible and fair to those wishing to express their views.”
As well as questionnaires, direct letters and focus groups, further key activity as part of the listening and engagement exercise included:
“We would urge everyone to maintain the energy from the listening and engagement exercise and work with us to continue the conversation later this summer.”
