The plant in last month’s newsletter has been identified as an Abies Koreana (Korean Pine). There are two in Parc y Capel. The one nearest the main road is the Christmas tree that is lit up in December. The other, further away from the road,
has cones which seem to be even more beautiful than the Christmas tree’s. It is also believed there is another Korean pine somewhere in the village, anyone know where? Email Solva News at newyddionsolfach@gmail.com

Plans to massively overhaul health care in West Wales
Following a public consultation in summer 2018 Hywel Dda University Health Board decided to vote in favour of a plan that
would see the development of a new hospital between St Clears in Carmarthenshire and Narberth in Pembrokeshire.
However, the main topic on most people’s minds is likely to be what it means for the existing sites of Glangwili and Withybush.
According to the health board: “Both of those hospitals will have GP-led minor injury units and a range of other services as part of community networks of care, which also include integrated care centres and other community-based services. The current hospital services at Bronglais Hospital in Aberystwyth and Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli will be further developed.” The health board has said the plan to reshape the way people receive medical treatment in west Wales is part of an “ongoing process” that is now under way with an engagement exercise. Anyone can have their say on the plans for the new
hospital and where exactly it should be located by taking part in the engagement process online at:

At the end of last year the mice went home for the second lockdown, but they are now ready to return to Solva for their summer holiday and are looking forward to joining in all the fun.
But first a trail is needed and your help is required to form it by displaying a painted mouse board. You could use last years one, make a new one or request a helping hand. But time is short and you need to register your name and the location of your mouse board AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to be included on the trail map.

*** IMPORTANT MESSAGE re 2nd-dose COVID JABS ***
1st JAB WITH GP SURGERY = 2nd JAB WITH GP SURGERY
GP Practices have been informed recently by the Health Board that an error has occurred with the Welsh Immunisation System (WIS) – this is the system used to store data on patients who have had their Covid vaccination.
Unfortunately, the WIS system is sending out text messages to some patients who had their 1st Covid jab at the GP Surgery informing them to go to a Mass Vaccination Centre (MVC) in Tenby, Haverfordwest, Carmarthen or Cardigan for their 2nd jab – THIS IS AN ERROR.
If you had your 1st vaccination at your GP Surgery, then you will be invited to have your 2nd jab at your GP Surgery too – you WILL NOT be told to go to an MVC.
If you have already been given your appointment to attend your GP Surgery for your 2nd jab, this appointment still stands – please disregard any text message you get to go to an MVC, as it is an error.
ANY MESSAGE TO ATTEND AN MVC FOR YOUR 2nd JAB IS WRONG UNLESS YOU WENT TO AN MVC FOR YOUR 1st JAB.
