Letter: Experts should read headlines

PRH protestLetter: If any of the so-called experts still have it in mind to try to reduce the capacity of the Princess Royal Hospital in any way I hope they read the recent headline in the Shropshire Star, “Hospitals Go On High Alert”, and the reasons for such a move.

Let them come out from behind their stethoscopes or, more likely, financial balance sheets, and remember the reason for their existence.

It is to provide the best possible medical care for local patients.

Surely they can’t still believe the “best option” for providing a quality service is to cause a reduction in facilities!

    Headlines are written to sell newspapers and not necessarily to pass contextually-correct factual information to people.

    I’m sympathetic to the cause, but laying your trust in headlines is not a good idea.
