Bevendean and Hove General hospitals were closed. Now they are talking about closing Brighton General.

They cannot cope at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.

I have been waiting two years for surgery.

A dear old lady in our warden-operated flat has rung three times for a bed and is always told none is available.

I often wonder if Mr Blair is out to do away with the Welfare State.

The new hospital at Holmes Avenue? Not a brick has been laid. I expect I will be dead when they find me a bed.
