The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether (a) Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust and (b) Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin ICB has improved according to his Department's matrices for performance and improvement since July 2024.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust and the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board are in receipt of national mandated support via NHS England’s Recovery Support Programme.

Since July 2024, the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust and the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board have both demonstrated improvements across all areas of the requisite transition criteria, including finance, workforce, urgent and emergency care, governance, and leadership.

NHS England continues to support the trust and the integrated care board in a range of areas. We are working closely with NHS England to monitor the situation.
