The future of Solva Surgery was raised in the Senedd Chamber this week by local Senedd Member Paul Davies. Mr Davies called on the Welsh Government to work with Hywel Dda University Health Board and the local community to ensure that residents can continue to access primary care services in the local area, following the news that the GP partner has announced their retirement.
Mr Davies said, “I know that there are concerns about the future delivery of services in the area and so I asked the Health Minister what support is being provided to ensure that patients are able to access GP services in their local area. The Health Minister acknowledged that there are challenges recruiting GPs to Pembrokeshire and that work is ongoing to put something in place by the end of March.”
“It’s vital that the Welsh Government does everything it can to recruit GPs to Pembrokeshire and I will continue raise the issue of access to primary services with the Health Minister at every opportunity.”
