An X-ray machine which cost £158,000 is still in its box at Ludlow Community Hospital, four months after it was bought, the hospital league of friends has said.
The group funded the equipment and said a room had been cleared to make way for it, but a dispute at the hospital was holding things up.
Peter Corfield, from Ludlow's League of Friends, said the situation was "ridiculous", but he hoped it would be resolved within the next month.
The Shropshire Community Health Trust, which runs the hospital, said the hold-up was because it needed to get permission from NHS Property Services, which owns the building.
We are keen to bring this X-Ray equipment into use as soon as possible, as it will be hugely beneficial to the people of Ludlow and south Shropshire. We appreciate it is taking time to get it installed, but we need the go-ahead from NHS Property Services, as the owners of the Ludlow Hospital building, to do that. We are in almost daily contact with them to progress the matter

Shropshire's three rural maternity units are going to remain closed to inpatients and women wanting to give birth.
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust says it's taken the decision so it can "safely staff" its two main maternity units, at the Royal Shrewsbury and Princess Royal hospitals.
The units in Bridgnorth, Ludlow and Oswestry have been affected by a series of unplanned closures since last year.
A consultation about their future will start, the hospital trust says, adding it cannot say when they might reopen.
The circumstances which led to our decision to suspend some services from the 20th May remain unchanged. Unfortunately the issues which have been affecting our maternity service continue
The former Great Britain player Jonathan Weaver is returning for a fifth season with Telford Tigers.

Jonathan is simply one of the best players of his generation, one of the top British players of all time and I hope the fans in Telford appreciate having been able to watch him play for the four previous seasons he has been in Telford
