The kitchen and Apley restaurant at PRH have been closed since RAAC was identified in autumn 2023.

Inese Robotham, assistant chief executive at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, said: ‘We would like to thank our catering and estates teams who have worked tirelessly to create this modern temporary food hub, which will serve our patients, visitors and colleagues.

‘It allows the specialist teams to work on removing the RAAC in a safe and efficient manner, paving the way for enhanced catering facilities for all.

‘I would also like to thank our patients, visitors and staff for their continued patience and understanding during these works.'

Work at the hospital is being carried out in phases and includes the upgrade of the restaurant and kitchen, a doctors' mess and a purpose-built plant room.
