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:
