Fit For The Future

 

28th May 2008

 
Worthing chosen as the location for centralised services
Worthing will become the location for centralised services along the south coast of West Sussex if the recommendation on location is approved by West Sussex Primary Care Trust next Wednesday (04 June 2008).
 
Two stand alone midwife led units will be provided as part of the new model of care (approved in May 2008).   A recommendation is being made to site the co-located midwife led unit in Worthing.  A further recommendation is being made to locate the stand alone midwife led unit for the south of the county at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester.  
 
A decision on the location of the stand alone midwife led unit in the north of the county will be taken following further public engagement, and a decision is expected to take place in the autumn.
 
See full press release from the West Sussex PCT  

 

The Trust will meet to consider the recommendation on the location of the "Major General Hospital" at the Board meeting to be held at the Copthorne Hotel Effingham Gatwick, in Copthorne, at 2pm on Wednesday 4th June. For details of the meeting, please click here

Nick Herbert says-
 
28 May 2008
We should not be deciding between hospitals
Arundel & South Downs MP Nick Herbert has repeated his view that none of the three acute hospitals in West Sussex should be downgraded – and he has warned the Primary Care Trust and the clinicians who supported them that they “will not be forgiven” if they allow St Richard’s to die.
“I remain deeply sceptical about the logic of centralising maternity services.  I believe that all three hospitals should retain their consultant-led maternity units, but now there will be only one for the whole county.  St Richard’s will have a midwife-led unit, but we won’t know for some time if the PRH will have one as well.  A lot of mothers are going to have to travel much further to have their babies.

New hospital model only goes halfway to meet local concerns
Arundel & South Downs MP Nick Herbert has said that the West Sussex Primary Care Trust (PCT) has “only gone halfway to meet the concerns of local people” in its latest hospital plans, which he said remain “horribly divisive”.
