Mid Wales fails to exist on most politicos radars and a lot of NGO and charities even forget about this rather large and important part of Wales. At least the television weather presenters realise we exist!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-62348323976344869792007-11-23T10:50:00.000+01:002007-11-23T10:50:00.000+01:00Daran - Last thing I wanted to do was be critical ...Daran - Last thing I wanted to do was be critical of Roy. And of course I hadn't seen anything of Edwina Hart's announcement. I suppose that it was just an oppoprtunity to comment. Its useful to learn that Powys got a mention - but this has been going on for years. I think the Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Hospitals trust have almost given up on a project that was expected to be up and running a year ago - attention for satellite units for the overcrowded Shrewsbury 'hub' is now focussed on Telford. The Assembly Government (via Health Commission Wales) simply hasn't delivered - and people are getting to believe never will!! Perhaps you don't realise how disconnected with the Assembly the people of Montgomeryshire feel. and its not just health facilities either. We feel that Mid Wales might as well be on Mars for all the attention it getsGlyn Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344589217554138315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-22536087887409303772007-11-23T06:20:00.000+01:002007-11-23T06:20:00.000+01:00Glyn I hear what you're saying but to be fair to R...Glyn I hear what you're saying but to be fair to Roy he mentioned Haverfordwest specifically because the announcement made by Mrs Hart was specific in its reference to there:<BR/><BR/>"Work is already underway to open a new dialysis facility in Carmarthen in the new year. I will have a business plan for a linked dialysis service in Pembrokeshire in December. Other areas identified as priorities for additional dialysis facilities are north Gwent, Baglan, <B>Powys</B>, south Gwynedd and Deeside, and I look forward to seeing the business cases for those developments make progress over the next three years. "<BR/><BR/>You will notice I have emboldened Powys though from the list of additional priority areas.
