P-06-1250 Open a full hospital facility, including an A&E department in mid Wales

This petition was submitted by Andrew Wallace, having collected a total of 1,811 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

The public of mid Wales currently must travel between 30 and 50 to get to the nearest hospital facility.

We are relying on English hospitals and English out of hours service (shropdoc - www.shropdoc.org.uk) to care for our people.

Additional Information:

Recently ambulance times in the mid Wales area have taken up to 5 hours to reach patients who are obviously in difficulty, sometimes in life threatening circumstances.

Our basic medical facilities in the area are struggling to cope.
