Comments on: The dreaded Dyfed option http://blog.nickbourne.org.uk/2007/12/20/the-dreaded-dyfed-option/ Leader of the Conservatives in the Welsh Assembly Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:48:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Peter Turner http://blog.nickbourne.org.uk/2007/12/20/the-dreaded-dyfed-option/#comment-34522 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 21:41:39 +0000 http://blog.nickbourne.org.uk/2007/12/20/the-dreaded-dyfed-option/#comment-34522 I am horrified to see the establishment of an all Dyfed Health Trust. When I first moved to Pembrokeshire some thirty years ago to take up an appointment in the Health Service, just prior to the opening of the new Withybush General Hospital, there was a similar organisational structure in place in that all the power (and money) seemed to be concentrated at the West Wales General Hospital. Where this time will the new headquarters of the Dyfed Trust be and why, oh why have we not learned lessons from the last time? For some reason socialists always seem to think that big is better when such an organisational structures can never provide the flexibility and innovation needed to provide an effective health care service in a dynamic environment. It is the wrong way to go. I am horrified to see the establishment of an all Dyfed Health Trust.
