Update on Bronllys Hospital

There's a very good letter in the Brecon and Radnor Express today, written by someone who was at the recent Health Board meeting. He says there were around 70 people there, as opposed to the more usual ten, which shows the level of interest in what was going on. He also points out a way in which the authorities seem to be dodging responsibility - by separating out the provision of "facilities" (i.e. hospitals) and "services" to different departments. It seemed to the writer of the letter that the health board was in favour of farming out "services" to the private sector, and running down the "facility" of Bronllys Hospital, whereas there was a lot of support at the meeting, from members of the local community, for Bronllys Hospital being retained as a hub of services for the area into the forseeable future.
