Please find attached details of the following: • Report on feedback received to the Health Board's Consultation This report, prepared by Opinion Research Services on behalf of the Health Board, analyses all the feedback received during the formal consultation process.

It reflects on the themes heard and provides a Health Board response where appropriate and also describes how options for change have moved as a result of the feedback received. It also highlights significant submissions received from a variety of sources. The original petition submitted by Llanelli residents in relation to PPH was received during the Listening and Engagement Phase of the process. However, the views expressed in the petition were reflected upon and a change to the option for consideration was made (with the incorporation of an EMAU within PPH and the retention of the medical take). The Consultation Document included a section specific to PPH and provided a clear explanation of why the petition's demands could not be met. This included a description of there being no clinical case to revisit an earlier consultation (held in 2006) and to restore emergency surgical services at the hospital to allow a full A&E Department to be on the site. I hope this provides the necessary information for the Committee but please let me know if you require more. Yours sincerely, Trevor Purt Chief Executive Enclosures: 1.
