I was released a week ago from the Royal Sussex County Hospital. I had four operations and was nursed back to the world by nurses who gave their all.

I have nothing but faith in them, the reason I gave them a present. I am a pensioner. It is not the nursing staff to blame, or doctors or management.

The truth is, the Labour government and Labour council are to blame. Keep the Brighton General Hospital. We need it.
