In February 1996 my husband suffered a perforated aneurism in his stomach. The fast action of the emergency doctor and ambulance service in getting him to the accident and emergency department at Princess Royal Hospital saved his life. If we had had to travel to Redhill or Brighton, he would certainly not be alive today.
Do the extra costs involved in running ambulances further afield really compensate for putting people's lives at risk? We don't think so and neither do the people who live in and around Haywards Heath.
