A councillor believes NHS England has local health bosses "over a barrel" over a £60 million project to move six GP surgeries into a "super hub".Around 200 people were at St Chad's Church for the meeting
He said:"The first two GPs put a compelling case for new and better facilities for an ageing and expanding population. But neither gave a glowing welcome to the hub. "And Shropshire Council can play its part. They built the Tannery, they could develop plans for investing in a set of local centres." Among health chiefs who spoke at the meeting was Bayston Hill GP Ed Jutson, who said there were 20 young GPs in Shropshire who could not find a surgery to work for due to a lack of capacity. He said the hub project would help surgeries take on young doctors and was"an opportunity not to be missed".
