The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure stability of management at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) is in segment four of the NHS Oversight Framework. This means that the trust is in receipt of national mandated support via NHS England’s Recovery Support Programme. The National Recovery Support team is working closely with the trust and region to support the SaTH, and ensure delivery of improvements. A new interim Chief Executive Officer has been appointed, and is joining the trust shortly. We are working closely with NHS England to monitor the situation.
