Review of hospital reorganisation proposals likely to take monthspublished at 12:18 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2017
Scrutiny of the controversial plans for a major reorganisation of Shropshire's hospitals is likely to take months and probably won't be complete until late spring, the NHS says.
The NHS Future Fit proposals included downgrading Telford's A&E department and creating one emergency centre for the county - in Shrewsbury.
This independent review was called after health commissioners failed to agree on the proposals last year and today the Future Fit team is meeting to agree how it will be carried out.
The health minister David Mowart told a commons debate on the issue last month that once the review was complete, he was expecting health commissioners to hold another vote, with the hope of getting a clear majority one way or the other.
