SO THE planning committee has given its approval for the redevelopment of the Royal Sussex County Hospital. We could eventually end up with a magnificent facility fit for the 21st century.

Bravo, but what sort of NHS will we have when it does open? I imagine very different from the current system, which is much-loved and acknowledged to be one of the most efficient in the world. No top-down reorganisation was promised and yet it soon became apparent creeping privatisation was being thrust upon us.

The Greeks now have to pay five euros for every visit to a doctor. Couldn’t happen here? Don’t believe it. Write to your MP about the bill going through Parliament before it’s too late. Once the changes are made, there will be no going back.
