A new hospital in west Wales which could cost more than £1bn will be built on one of three sites in Carmarthenshire, it has been confirmed. Plans to transform healthcare in the region have been in the offing since 2018, and health bosses have now moved a step closer to deciding on where exactly the new urgent and planned care hospital will be located.
Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) - which is responsible for healthcare across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire - announced proposals to shake-up its health provision in 2018.

A number of sites to the west of Carmarthen were put forward for consideration, and a final three have now been decided upon following a HDUHB board meeting on Thursday. All three are within a four or five mile radius between the towns of St Clears and Whitland in the western part of Carmarthenshire.
