What the petition asks
This petition calls on the Government to provide funding and the go-ahead for the building of a new hospital off the M54 motorway between Shrewsbury and Telford capable of providing accident and emergency services for the entirety of Shropshire and mid Wales.
The 'Future Fit' hospital reconfiguration project has proved controversial and has been inundated with challenge. There have been reports of a leaked document revealing that the initial estimated cost of £312m for the reconfiguration has risen to £498m.
An end is nowhere to be seen; meanwhile there is growing tension and unease between neighbouring communities and A&E services in Shropshire are at breaking point. This solution is ideal, making sense geographically and will put an end to uncertainty.
