Plaid Cymru locally has welcomed the temporary reopening of the minor injuries unit in Tenby.

The issue of the lack of a Minor Injuries Unit in Tenby was discussed by health campaigner Myles-Bamford Lewis and Plaid Cymru Assembly Member Simon Thomas at meeting with the health board earlier this month.

“Plaid Cymru believes this is a welcome step in the right direction for the people of Tenby and the surrounding area,” said Simon Thomas.

“I held a meeting last year about problems with GPs in the area so this would help matters particularly with the busy holiday season coming up. I also discussed this issue earlier this month with the health board.

“This should take some pressure of Withybush Hospital as well. My hope is that this pilot will lead to a more permanent solution.”
