Shropshire health bosses say they are ‘working closely’ with NHS England and following national guidance when it comes to naming new hospital departments as part of their transformation programme.
Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is currently spending £312 million to transform the county’s two acute hospitals.
An Independent Reconfiguration Panel ruled in January that the transformation plans at the RSH and PRH can continue. In response SaTH states that it is currently working with NHS England to develop the naming of services as part of the Hospitals Transformation Programme . Earlier this year Telford & Wrekin Council along with Wellington Town Council both approved tabled motions calling for work to downgrade the A&E department at PRH to be halted.
