Steve Barclay made the offer when responding to a question from North Shropshire Liberal Democrat MP Helen Morgan in the House of Commons.

The Health Secretary has said that he is prepared to meet to discuss pressure on Shropshire's NHS.

Mrs Morgan said:"The urgent care and ambulance crisis has been brewing since autumn 2021 in Shropshire, and it's worsened since then. Last week, a doctor went on the record to say that the emergency department was like a warzone and that she feared that in a fire not everyone would get out alive. It comes after Shropshire was given the lowest amount from the Government’s emergency winter discharge fund, despite having some of the worst bed-blocking rates in the country.

The longest wait for a Category Two call in Shropshire was 22 hours and 29 minutes and the average wait in the Oswestry area for Category Two was more than two hours, despite the target response time being 18 minutes.
