The Conservative candidate for Shrewsbury has accused Labour rivals of “refusing to understand” the relationship between the county’s two major hospitals in a debate on hospital reform.
Speaking at a hustings event in Meole Brace on Monday night, Daniel Kawczynski said further delays to the hospital transformation programme at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust would see both sites “continue to deteriorate”.
In May, the full business case for the reconfiguration of the county’s two main hospital sites was approved, releasing £312million for work to make the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital the county’s main emergency care site, with most planned care moving to Telford’s Princess Royal.
