The Prime Minister is being asked if he supports the Shropshire's £312m 'Future Fit' hospitals plans.
Shrewsbury & Atcham's Conservative MP, Daniel Kawczynski, a long-time advocate of the controversial Hospitals Transformation Programme for the county, has written to Rishi Sunak over the issue.
Medics and bosses at Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust , which manages the hospitals, say the proposals are essential to provide improved and sustainable care for patients. Under the plans, which have faced major delays, RSH would become the base for the county's only 24-hour A&E department – currently both RSH and PRH offer the service.
He writes:"As you are aware £312m has been allocated towards the Hospitals Transformation Programme in Shropshire, the vital infrastructure project to modernise healthcare facilities in Shropshire. This programme is essential to ensure that the NHS can provide healthcare to Salopians and Mid Wales as part of Levelling Up across the UK.
