So June Dales of the NHS Central Sussex Review Board is going to consult the community about accident and emergency services at the Princess Royal Hospital (Argus, June 30).

What a farce! She has already let it slip the board has decided what it is going to do.

This bogus consultation exercise will serve only to put a better face on what is purely a money-saving scheme and nothing to do with what patients want or need.

The overwhelming feeling among Mid Sussex residents is to keep and enhance the A & E facilities at the Princess Royal.

Unless the board truly listens and acts on the wishes of the people then any fatalities resulting from cost cutting will be placed squarely on board members.
