SHADOW health minister Caroline Spelman has made a fact-finding mission to Kidderminster Hospital.

Ms Spelman, who is the Conservative Party's health spokesman and MP for Meriden, received a copy of the report handed in by Save Kidderminster Hospital Campaign to 10 Downing Street only three days before.

Although the shadow minister did not tour the hospital she had the chance to question Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust chairman Harold Musgrove on its future downgrading.
