Lucy Allan MP raised the problems plaguing the NHS at the Health and Social Care Select Committee on Monday.
A county MP says local health bosses must "recognise shortcomings" in an effort to improve services in the county.The NHS has been enduring one of its toughest winters on record
"Our trust is in special measures, both our hospitals are ranked inadequate by the CQC and critical incidents are declared with such regularity that they seem commonplace. The trust is ranked fourth from the bottom in the country for failing to meet A&E waiting targets and orthopaedic surgery has not restarted at [Princess Royal Hospital] since the pandemic, whereas other hospitals have continued to operate throughout.
"All Shropshire MPs met with the health management last Friday. It is a concern that there is very little focus on what trust leaders can do to improve the local service for local people. We recognise that the hospital transformation plan will improve access and outcomes, but there is more work to be done to drill down into tackling the specific local issues and seeking out mutual aid from neighbouring trusts.
Mr Kawczynski said the delays to the proposed Future Fit reorganisation of hospital services in the county was an example of how the management system of the NHS was failing patients. She said: “The NHS crisis is now so bad that it is difficult to find words that accurately describe the gravity of the situation.
