Protect the A&E and Women & Children's Unit at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital
Future Fit ('FF') was tasked with improving care in the Telford and Shrewsbury Hospitals.
FF's proposals include closing one of the two current A&E units and possibly moving Women and Children's ('WC') services, despite investment in a dedicated £28 million facility in Telford just two years ago.
Both Telford and Shropshire have growing populations and accommodate different geographical locations; both current A&E units struggle - local healthcare needs expanding not retracting. Reducing to one A&E will cause unnecessary strain, and ultimately, deaths.
In 2014 the Health Secretary promised that “we commit to A&E on both sites and there are no plans to change that”. Mr Hunt is called upon to ensure that commitment is kept.
Moving WC services would be a waste of a £28 million investment.
