Mark Meets With Health Secretary to Discuss Telford A&E Services

Mark Pritchard MP Matt Hancock - 05.10.2019

This afternoon Mark met with Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, to discuss new hospital services at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.

It is good news that A&E will be staying in Telford despite all the local scaremongering.

Mark asked the Secretary of State to ensure the local hospital Trust undertakes to ensure the A&E is well staffed and provides the very best care for Telford and Wrekin residents.  The Secretary of State promised that the A&E Local will be part of the extra £312 million investment at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
