Daniel Kawczynski, MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham has met with NHS officials both at a national and local level to ensure accident and emergency services remain at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
Daniel said:
“I am conscious that in a number of weeks a decision will be made on the future delivery of health care in Shropshire, but even at this late stage, it is vital that I continue to lobby the Secretary of State for Health and officials at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust to ensure that Royal Shrewsbury Hospital retains its accident and emergency services.
