Nearly 16,000 people have now signed a petition calling on Liz Truss's government to take a fresh look at the controversial Future Fit plans.
The plans would see significant changes to Princess Royal HospitalThe council is calling on the new Health Secretary, Therese Coffey, to re-evaluate the 'Future Fit' plans for Princess Royal Hospital in Telford and Royal Shrewsbury Hospital – both managed by Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
The plans, which took a major step forward in recent weeks with government and NHS approval for the Strategic Outline Case, would see major changes at both sites. RSH would become home to the county's only full 24-hour A&E, and would also take on consultant-led women and children's services, which are currently based at Telford.Telford & Wrekin Council has described the plans as an unacceptable downgrade.
A letter from Council Leader Shaun Davies to the Health Secretary states:"The controversial plans will see Telford’s main hospital – the Princess Royal – lose its 24 hour A & E department and become an A & E Local, a model which has attracted widespread criticism from medical bodies.
"Furthermore the plans would move our consultant-led women and children’s services from Telford to Shrewsbury, while the Telford site would become the centre for planned care."
