Still time to voice opinions

Did you see Dave Morris's article in the Shropshire Star about the proposed changes to Shropshire hospital services? If so, did you note that a final decision about any changes is months away?

Did you see Dave Morris's article in the Shropshire Star about the proposed changes to Shropshire hospital services? If so, did you note that a final decision about any changes is months away? That means there is still time to have your say about proposed changes to children's services.

The four Patient & Public Involvement Forums in Telford and Shropshire are made up of volunteers from the local community who are enthusiastic about helping patients and the public influence the way local healthcare is organised and delivered.

The NHS trusts are obliged by law to respond to forums if they report to them. Members of the PPI Forums' Maternity & Paediatrics working group would love to hear from any individual or voluntary organisation in Telford or Shropshire that would like to comment on the proposed changes to the paediatric service at Telford. They would also be interested to receive comments about maternity services.
