In accordance with the Constitution, five members of the Council submitted a request to the Speaker to arrange an urgent extraordinary public meeting of the Council with a single item of business. Following agreement by the Speaker, the item of business is set out below: Councillor Shaun Davies will move the following Motion: “This Council deplores the recent recommendation by the NHS Future Fit programme’s non-financial review of hospital services to move the new £28m state of the art Women & Children’s Unit and the Accident & Emergency unit from the Princess Royal Hospital to Shrewsbury. It makes no sense to move the very successful Women & Children’s Unit only two years after it opened and reverse the proven clinical case for this unit being based in Telford. We call on the Secretary of State for Health to immediately intervene and put a permanent halt to this flawed plan and fund Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin’s health economy sufficiently to ensure we can maintain two properly resourced A&Es and retain the Women’s & Children’s Unit at the PRH. Full Council also supports the Cabinet in taking all necessary steps to keep health services in Telford and Wrekin, including launching a judicial review if necessary.” The Motion will be seconded by Councillor Andrew Eade. |
