It is almost impossible to get even a telephone appointment with a G.P Across Pembrokeshire.

G.P's are the Gatekeepers to Diagnosis, Prescriptions, Imaging and Consultant Referrals. It is not unusual to make dozens of calls over different days and fail to speak to a person.

Meanwhile Patients young and old, with a variety of conditions and abilities are unecessarily suffering. pain and stress. 

This has to change we the Patients demand action & explanations from Hywel Dda UHB and the Welsh Government.
