Temporary service suspension at Oswestry MLU
Services at Oswestry midwife-led unit will be temporarily suspended overnight tomorrow.
The suspension will be in force from 8pm tomorrow until 8am on Sunday.
Women booked to give birth at Oswestry MLU, who go into labour during this time, will be offered a birth at another MLU or the consultant-led unit at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
Sarah Jamieson, head of midwifery at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH), said: “Unfortunately, due to the on-going need to ensure the midwives we have are where our mums are, it will be necessary to suspend services at Oswestry MLU from 8pm tomorrow until 8am on Sunday.
"I would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
SaTH says all women potentially affected by the suspension have been contacted.
