Mark Welcomes new Health Minister's Reassurance of 24/7 A&E Local Cover

Mark Pritchard MP Princess Royal Hospital Telford

Mark has welcomed confirmation from the Minister of State for Health and Social Care that the Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) in Telford will continue to provide 24-hour, seven-day a week enhanced urgent care for local residents.

Mark submitted a written parliamentary question to the Health and Social Care Ministers on 10 October 2022 to seek confirmation that the creation of an A&E Local at the PRH would not lead to reduced hours of cover or a lack of urgent care provision.

Responding, Minister of State Will Quince confirmed that providing 24-hour, seven-day a week enhanced urgent care at PRH is part of the recently approved Strategic Outline Case for the Hospitals Transformation Programme in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.

Commenting, Mark said:

"Whilst a new super hospital would still be a really good solution, I am glad that the new Government is committed to spending a record £312 million in the county and that the A&E Local - with its 24-hour, seven-day a week cover - is part of that investment. This should reassure many local residents."
