The document discusses proposals to reconfigure hospital services in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. It outlines four options, with the preferred option being to move some specialist services between the two main hospital sites. This would allow services to be consolidated in a more sustainable way while maintaining A&E departments and access to acute care at both locations. Public feedback is sought on the proposals through meetings and an online/postal consultation through mid-March 2011.

The purpose of the changes “ The proposals reflect what the doctors who provide the services, and the GPs who send their patients to use them, think should be done to improve safety and quality and make sure these services are provided within Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin for a very long time to come.” “ They are most definitely not aimed at saving money or cutting services.”
