An MP has warned that rival politicians’ opposition to £312m hospital plans could put the project at risk.
Daniel Kawczynski has made the comments in a letter to the chairman of Shrewsbury & Atcham’s Labour Party, Paul Forrest, over the proposed ‘Future Fit’ re-organisation of services at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
In a response Mr Forrest said either he, nor the group, could support the plans, because they believe both Telford and Shrewsbury should retain full A&E departments.Mr Forrest added that he believed the plans were a method of cutting costs. “However, the hundreds of clinicians supporting these proposals do so because they will improve patient outcomes.“These proposals will upgrade the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital’s facilities to provide modern emergency care. You and your colleagues claim that the proposals are not a programme that will improve services. I beg to differ because the current model is no longer fit for purpose, with fragmented and inefficient services.
