We are appalled by this fait accompli.
The Board meeting, where this is to be discussed, (and passed?) doesn't actually meet until Thursday!)
This 'engagement' has no possibility of changing the decision to close the 3 rural units indefinitely.

We would like to say #Thankyoumidwife for all the hard work they do in very difficult circumstances.
This is awful, such a short sighted decision.
The decision may mean that the units never reopen for women to give birth there

We wish you would make up your mind as to what the excuse for shutting rural units is, it seems to change quite often.
We don't have a recruitment issue, we have midwives in the wrong place, staffing empty buildings and that's very different #sathboard

This is not good enough.
No one is listening to what women and babies in the whole of Shropshire need. This is a mostly rural County and trying to make all births happen in central units will not work safely.
This is all very well and good, but what happens when they don't have enough midwives to staff it?
We are absolutely delighted with the results of the refurbishment." #Shrewsbury

No mention of Shropshire, @sathNHS must not have replied to the Freedom Of Information request.
This is the poster for the 'engagement' produced by @sathNHS.
There is an information booklet as well that I won't share because,
1) I can't get the link to share.
2) It's full of the same old nonsense that they keep spouting.
If you want to check anything out go to their site.
