  7. MP criticises hospitals over cancelled surgerypublished at 17:29 British Summer Time 10 September 2021

    Telford's MP Lucy Allan has criticised the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust over a decision to cancel some elective appointments.

    Nigel Lee, chief operating officer, said in line with pressures across the NHS, the trust was seeing high levels of demands for patients needing urgent care, as well as rising numbers of Covid-19 patients needing inpatient treatment.

    As such, he said, the trust "had to temporarily step down some of our least clinically urgent planned surgeries", but urgent procedures were still taking place.

    Ms Allan said: "I have constituents who are in debilitating pain and who have had to wait throughout the pandemic for an operation, but even now cannot be offered a date for surgery.

    "A surgery date gives people hope that their suffering will end."
