'More buses needed' for patients if GP surgeries move to Shrewsbury health hub
There will not be enough buses for GPs' patients if plans to scrap six surgeries in Shrewsbury for a large health hub go ahead, a councillor fears.
Councillor Kate Halliday has asked Shropshire Council if it will increase transport services if the Shrewsbury Health Hub project goes ahead.
Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care System (ICS) wants to relocate six GP surgeries in Shrewsbury and amalgamate them into a hub, likely to be in Meole Brace - a move which would affect 45,000 patients.
Practices being considered for closure are The Beeches Medical Practice, Belvidere Medical Practice, Claremont Bank Surgery, Marden Medical Practice, Marysville Medical Practice and South Hermitage Surgery.
