A Mid Sussex health service watchdog has appointed a new chairman.
Betty Fudge takes over at Mid Downs Community Health Council from former chairman Bryan Jones.
Mrs Fudge originally trained as a nurse and later worked as a midwife and health visitor.
CHCs are due to be abolished under Government legislation first announced in 2000 but no final date has been given.
They will be replaced with new patient forums.
