of the 21 health trust members who are to decide whether or not breast cancer care stays in Brighton or moves to Haywards Heath, 12 are members of the Mid-Sussex Primary Care Trust while only nine are members of the Brighton Primary Care Trust (The Argus, September 16).

This does seem to be a serious imbalance of regional representation in view of the decision which has to be made.

I also note that the political affiliation of one member is given. Does this mean all the others have no political affiliation?
