Princess Royal Hospital update

Ned Hobbs, Chief Operating Officer at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust said: “We can confirm the water pipe was repaired last night at the Princess Royal Hospital. Our teams are currently assessing any damage and a clean-up operation is continuing. We would like to thank all patients and visitors for their support.    

“Our Emergency Department and maternity services are fully open, and patients with urgent and emergency care needs should continue to come forward. People can support us by using alternative services for any conditions that are not serious or life threatening. NHS 111 can signpost you to the right service for your needs.  

“Patients should continue to attend their appointments unless they are contacted by the Trust.

“We would also like to thank our amazing colleagues and partners who are working hard to support our patients and minimise disruption.”
