Hwyel Dda Health Board have announced plans for possible changes to the NHS in mid and west Wales.

The proposals could see the accident and emergency department at Llanelli's Prince Philip replaced by an accident centre.

Hywel Dda's proposals also include the possible closure of three small hospitals. They are Mynydd Mawr hospital at Tumble in Carmarthenshire and Tregaron and Aberaeron hospitals in Ceredigion. All three would be replaced by community resource centres.

Our reporter Owain Phillips reports on the proposals.

Louisa Williams lives in Llanelli and has an eight-year-old daughter. She is concerned about the changes.
