Cautious optimism over future of rural health care

June 21, 2007 1:08 PM

Welsh Liberal Democrat AM for Brecon and Radnorshire, Kirsty Williams, has given a cautious welcome to the First Minister's response to her recent questions on the future of hospitals in the constituency.

During questions at the Assembly in Cardiff this week, Ms Williams stressed the vital role of community hospitals, emphasising the need for a health policy that recognises the differences between rural and urban Wales.

Ms Williams said: "I was pleasantly surprised to find the First Minister was aware of the proposals currently being discussed as regards to health care delivery in Builth, and welcome his positive comments on this matter. Combined with the encouraging talks I had with the new Health Minister last week, I am feeling cautiously optimistic that the Government is at least aware of the challenges facing our health service, and is possibly willing to support the sort of new community health initiatives that our area so desperately needs."
