Nine services under review as Health Board seeks public views ahead of major shake-up
A MAJOR consultation on the future of NHS clinical services in Pembrokeshire has been launched by Hywel Dda University Health Board, with residents being urged to have their say before proposals are finalised later this year. The wide-reaching consultation, announced on Thursday (May 29), focuses on nine hospital-based services across west Wales: critical care, dermatology, emergency general surgery, endoscopy, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, radiology, stroke, and urology. The board says the review is essential to tackle what it calls 'service fragilities,' reduce waiting times, and improve standards across the region's health services. But the consultation could lead to significant changes in how and where care is delivered—raising concerns among some patients and campaigners in Pembrokeshire about future access to treatment. No changes to emergency departments or minor injury units are being proposed as part of this review. A separate consultation is ongoing regarding minor injuries care at Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli. Public drop-in events have been scheduled across the region, with two key sessions in Pembrokeshire: one at HaverHub, Haverfordwest on Thursday 27 June (2:00pm–7:00pm) and another at Pater Hall, Pembroke Dock on Wednesday 10 July (3:00pm–6:00pm). A further event will take place at Tenby Leisure Centre on 4 July. Medical Director Mr Mark Henwood said the consultation is an important opportunity for residents to help shape the future of healthcare delivery in the county and beyond. 'No decisions have been made on the options presented, and there are currently no preferred solutions,' Mr Henwood said. 'We want to hear from staff, patients and the wider public about what they believe is the best way to secure safe, high-quality and affordable care for the people of west Wales.' 'We are especially keen to hear about any concerns, potential impacts, or alternative ideas that people may have. Your insights will help us make informed decisions that put patients' needs first.' The consultation will run until Saturday 31 August 2025. Feedback can be submitted via an online questionnaire, or by attending in-person or virtual engagement events. Full details, including the consultation documents and summaries of each proposed option, are available on the health board's website at: The Health Board says it will review all responses, as well as supporting evidence and clinical data, before any decisions are taken at a board meeting expected to take place in November 2025. The services under consultation are all areas facing significant pressure, long waiting times, or staffing challenges. The board's aim is to ensure long-term sustainability and equitable access—but the public's role in shaping that vision is, it says, vital. Public consultation events in Pembrokeshire: 27 June 2025 – HaverHub, Haverfordwest, SA61 1BG, 2:00pm–7:00pm – HaverHub, Haverfordwest, SA61 1BG, 2:00pm–7:00pm 4 July 2025 – Tenby Leisure Centre, SA70 8DU, 2:00pm–7:00pm – Tenby Leisure Centre, SA70 8DU, 2:00pm–7:00pm 10 July 2025 – Pater Hall, Pembroke Dock, SA72 6DD, 3:00pm–6:00pm

Australian reality TV star jailed for child abuse
A Northern Territory reality TV star has been jailed for horrific child abuse offences. Paul Henwood, a Muk Muk Marranunggu traditional owner who once starred in a crocodile-hunting series on History Channel, was last Wednesday sentenced to three years and five months behind bars. The 53-year-old had pleaded guilty to seven Territory offences, including four counts of failure to provide the necessities of life and three counts of aggravated assault. He also pleaded guilty to two commonwealth charges: using carriage service to procure a person believed to be under 16 years of age, and using a carriage service to transmit indecent communication to a person believed to be under 16. The court heard how in February 2023, Henwood used Instagram to send a photo of him sitting on the toilet with an erect penis to an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, according to The Australian. 'The communication was highly sexualised, and you told the child victim you were looking for a young woman to play with,' judge John Burns said. 'You referred to the victim as "babe" and asked if she was a virgin.' Henwood offered drugs and money to the children and said it was his fantasy to 'play with a young virgin girl'. He had also subjected several other children to physical and emotional abuse, the court heard. Children in his care would sometimes be left without food for two days because he had spent his money on cigarettes, coffee and soft drink. He also threw objects at the children like shoes and belts and called them names like 'stupid b****' and 'mongrel c****'. The children also discovered a 'large suitcase with sex toys' at the property. Henwood starred in the 2012 History Channel series Outback Hunters, where he revealed his methods for hunting saltwater crocodiles. He is also a former member of the Northern Territory's Northern Land Council. In posts on social media he described himself as a single father with four children. Henwood will be eligible for parole on July 15 2026.
