Survey shows strong support for keeping both A&Es in Shropshire
A total of 96.3 per cent people demonstrated overwhelming support of Shropshire retaining its two fully-functioning A&E departments in a recent survey of 1,500 people.
The current Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) Future Fit proposals would see the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) become the county's only full A&E.
Under current plans, urgent care services would still be available at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital but emergency care would be delivered primarily from RSH's new, purpose built emergency department.
A recent survey has however demonstrated that the people of Shropshire are overwhelmingly against plans that would see the closure of one of the county's A&Es.
Shropshire Green Party 'Healthy Greens' group asked over 1,500 people across 11 Shropshire towns if they think Shrewsbury and Telford's A&Es should remain fully functional.
