South Shropshire MP, Philip Dunne has welcomed Government investment to expand capacity at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.

Last week, the Government announced 50 sites across the UK where surgical hubs will be opened to tackle the elective surgery backlog.

Mr Dunne said “The Midlands’ allocation of £288m will enable an additional 250,000 surgical procedures across the region to help reduce the backlog, including at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
