SAVE THE PRH CAMPAIGN
HELP MARK TO SAVE HOSPITAL SERVICES
Welcome to Mark Pritchard MP’s - Save The PRH Campaign.
This is a community campaign which aims to change the minds of local health bosses who want to see key local services relocated from the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in Shrewsbury. It is also designed to put pressure on Labour Health Ministers to ensure that the right level of investment is put into local hospital services.
The planned health cuts would mean the loss of vital services such as Accident and Emergency and overnight paediatrics and children’s services. This cannot be allowed to happen.
Local Conservative MP, Mark Pritchard, is campaigning against the cuts.
Mark said: “The Borough of Telford & Wrekin and East Shropshire is a growing population. A fully functioning Accident and Emergency service as well as a paediatric service is absolutely vital if lives are not to be lost. This literally is a fight for local lives. I am glad that the whole community is supporting me in this fight for life”.
Why not sign Mark’s Petition at: www.savetheprh.com or download it and place it local shops and post offices.
If you would like to support the campaign to protect local hospital services at the PRH then please leave your comments and the reasons why you think key health services should remain at the Princess Royal Hospital.
Thank you for supporting the www.SaveThePRH.com campaign.

Completed forms should be sent to 25 Church Street, Wellington TF1 1DG
