Mr Pritchard said the process had caused "unnecessary concern and anxiety" among staff at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital at a time when it was expanding and the new £28 million women and children's centre was opening.

Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group is considering options as part of the Future Fit programme.

The MP said: "Health bosses need to up their performance and recognise that there is deep concern about the speed, costs, and lightweight nature of the consultation."
