Summary
In 2018 concerns were raised about Maternity Services provided by the SaTH hospitals (Royal Shrewsbury, and Princess Royal - Telford), including those related to historical concerns.

- The experiences of patients living with Dementia, and how the staff and ward environment support these patients
- The assessment processes, and the preparations for patient discharge from hospital

- Contributing factors that delayed a patient’s discharge from hospital
