Councillors want health bosses and council leaders to go "face to face" with the public over the controversial plans to move six GP surgeries into a "super hub".Shrewsbury town councillors unanimously backed a motion calling for an extraordinary public meeting about the Shrewsbury Health and Wellbeing Hub, as it was revealed the planned autumn/winter consultation has been temporarily shelved.
Councillor Kate Halliday, chair of the Shrewsbury Town Council working group set up to scrutinise the project, put forward the motion at a Shrewsbury Town Council's full council meeting. Councillor Bernie Bentick said he has recently spoken to leaders within the ICS at"director level", and had been told the consultation planned for October to December this year has been postponed. He added that he believes the feedback exercise has been delayed due to"public outrage", and afterwards described the postponement as a"small victory" for campaigners.
She added:"We will invite leaders from health and Shropshire Council to the meeting and we believe that members of the public have the right to put their questions to the people who are proposing such a massive change to how health services are delivered.
I recently developed epilepsy. I have to go to WOLVERHAMPTON for tests and treatment as we have NO neurology services in Shropshire. It's a bloody travesty along with this GP debacle. They should be replaced with proactive management.
