At the full council meeting held on December 11th 2008, the following motion was passed by Telford and Wrekin Councillors:

 

"Telford & Wrekin notes the recent Health Review and is commited to working with its partners and the public to ensure that the provision of NHS services and hight quality, specialist hospital services here meet the current and future needs of the communities of the borough and east Shropshire, as well as being of the highest clinical quality. (emphasis ours)

 

Given that the motion fails to mention the Princess Royal Hospital by name and that the phrase "specialist hospital services" is a euphemism for downgrading, John Franklyn and George Ashcroft hereby invite our current Members of Parliament and other Parliamentary candidates to give a public commitment to safeguarding the PRH as a general hospital, retaining both it's A&E and Paediatric services.

 

If they will not do so then the people of Telford will rightly conclude that the PRH is not safe in their hands.
