Commenting on the news that the owner of four nursing homes in Pembrokeshire has been given permission for a Judicial Review into how the county council sets the amount it pays in care home fees, local MP Simon Hart said:

"I'm pleased that this situation is a step closer to being resolved and that the families should soon have a clearer idea of what's happening. I understand that all preparations for closing the homes have been suspended.

"The hearing on 14th December is a crucial one and I shall be watching it closely. In the meantime I'm continuing to keep all those who've been in touch with me about this issue as well informed as possible."
