The question

What assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Hospital Transformation Programme on the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Thank you to my hon. friend for championing this important Programme, which is delivering £312 million of investment in local services.

The construction of a new four-storey building at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital will mean a bigger, improved emergency department with faster access for patients to the right care and with improved staff experience.
