Health 'Question Time' event for Haverfordwest

Hywel Dda Health Board will continue its extensive programme of public events in Haverfordwest as part of the most important healthcare consultation process ever seen in Mid and West Wales.
The event will take a Question Time format, to be held in Sir Thomas Picton School, Haverfordwest on Thursday 20 September .
The meeting will offer local people the opportunity to question the health board on Your Health, Your Future – Consulting Our Communities, which details proposals to improve services and patient outcomes for communities now and in the future.
Hywel Dda Health Board Chairman Chris Martin has urged people to get involved: “The views of local people, staff and stakeholders are really important to us and we recognise the enthusiasm and passion that has been shown for the NHS. There are many different ways in which people can get involved - from attending one of pubic events to visiting our online resource."
The event will host a panel who can answer questions from the public. Panel members will include senior representatives and healthcare professionals from the health board, and invited representatives from the community health council, political representatives and health interest groups (final confirmations are not available at this time).
Questions will be taken in a mixed format - submissions in advance of the day, submissions at the start of the event, and, as can be accommodated, questions from the floor during the event itself. This will be facilitated by event chair Dale Hall from Opinion Research Services - an independent organisation appointed to capture and analyse feedback from the consultation.
If you would like to ask the health board a question, please submit these in advance either by:
Writing to the health board at FREEPOST HYWEL DDA HEALTH BOARD
E-mailing the health board at hyweldda.engagement@wales.nhs.uk
Leaving your question on the telephone answer machine 01437 771232

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Image
Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive. Ammanford businessman and well-known comic entertainer Phil Evans has launched a campaign to get cash backers for Lauryn's athletics career. "Everyone in the area is hugely proud of her achievements in athletics to date," said Phil. "But we also want to see her go on and do bigger and better things.
