Open letter to Philip Dunne, Ludlow Conservative candidate
Of the five Parliamentary candidates standing in Ludlow constituency, you are the only one who will not oppose the closure of the A&E unit at Shrewsbury.
We believe that we need both our A&E units – at the Royal Shrewsbury and the Princess Royal – for a population of 540,000 people across 2000 square miles, in Shropshire, Powys and Telford and Wrekin. The evidence is that longer ambulance journey times lead to more deaths.
In particular, we strongly urge you to reconsider, and to do all that you can to safeguard our A&E in Shrewsbury.

Why is this important?
Philip Dunne is the only candidate that is sitting on the fence about this important issue.
We have great concern for the NHS as a whole, and ask that he watches the powerful film Sell Off, made by senior doctors who describe the threats to our NHS. You will find this online.
