Rural Services - Health No Different To Other Services.
The recent and ongoing debate about reorganising the Royal Shrewsbury and Princess Royal Hospitals should bring home to us all that yet again Central Government does not understand rural areas such as ours. Centralising services in an area where the hospitals serve huge swathes of Mid Wales, all of Shropshire and parts of other surrounding Counties will inevitably cause real hardship to patients and relatives alike with increased travel distances and times. Cleobury understands this better than most after the farce of the down-grading of Kidderminster Hospital.
