A public consultation on the future of emergency healthcare in Shropshire is not expected to start until June.

Telford's Clinical Commissioning Group earlier deferred a decision over consultation and instead, along with Shropshire CCG, commissioned an independent review of proposals to downgrade the A&E at the Princess Royal Hospital.

The Future Fit plans also include moving the recently opened women and children's unit to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, to sit alongside a new enhanced emergency centre.
