A cross-party report warned the NHS was facing the worst staffing crisis in history.
She says the two hospitals in Shropshire and Telford currently have a vacancy rate of about 10 per cent.
The hard-hitting report includes evidence showing that the staffing crisis in the NHS in England is even worse than official figures suggest. Ms Morgan said: “This report will be no surprise to anyone involved in the NHS in Shropshire and further highlights the need for the Government to get a grip on our healthcare crisis.“Recruitment and retention are a major challenge for the NHS in general but the problem is particularly acute in rural areas like North Shropshire where it can be very hard to attract staff. Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals are constantly trying to fill roles and have a vacancy rate of around 10 per cent.
