The latest NHS blue print for healthcare in the county hasn't gone down well with Shropshire Council.
Until now it has been a supporter of the review of health services in the county, but the authority says it hasn't endorsed the Sustainability and Transformation Plan, external and has doubts about its financial projections.
Like Telford and Wrekin Council, it says: "more resources should be put into prevention and reconfiguration of community and primary care services, rather than reconfiguration of hospital services."

The £1.3m Shropshire Council is getting to fix potholes next year will fill a lot of holes - 25,200, by the government's estimates.
This year it received a little over £1m, enough to fill 19,547.
But, the authority has been left wanting more, because it believes £1.5m is needed to fix all the pot holes in the area.
Temperatures are expected to drop below freezing in Shropshire tonight and the council gritting lorries will be going out later.
Both Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin councils say they will concentrate on the main A and B roads and are promising to put out updates via Twitter.

Instead they are among 11 "non-constituent" members, with less power than the full members.
Joanne Gallacher has been looking at how will that work in practice.

Shropshire Council is seeking legal advice about whether to carry on the fight against new homes on the outskirts of Ludlow.
The local authority had thrown out the application for 137 homes off Foldgate Lane, but a planning inspector subsequently gave it the go-ahead.
Now Ludlow Town Council and Ludford Parish Council say they've written to Shropshire Council urging it to appeal.
They argue that the development would completely undermine the local housing plan set up to determine housing needed for the next 10 years and that it's entirely unsuitable for the area.
