If there is a shortage of beds for operations at Worthing Hospital because some older patients are unable to be discharged owing to nursing home shortages, why not re-open some of the wards at Southlands - either run by the hospital or offered to private firms - where all the facilities are already in place?
This could free beds for people needing operations at Worthing Hospital.
Or would this go against the hell-bent policy of closing Southlands by hook or by crook? Seems too obvious, doesn't it?
