Hands off our hospitals!

Tim set up the Keep Worthing & Southlands Hospital (KWASH) campaign to focus protests at the threats to downgrade Worthing and Southlands hospitals by shutting A&E, maternity, paediatrics and other departments. The familiar Nurse Sunshine posters designed by local artist Mike Payne have been in evidence across the whole area over the last couple of years.

The Fit for the Future consultation by the PCT which gave rise to fears about the future of our hospitals has now been suspended pending the progress of proposals to merge St Richards and Worthing & Southlands Hospitals into a single hospital trust from April 2009, which we very much support.

This will hopefully put paid to the PCT’s meddling and the KWASH campaign will have been vindicated. For up to date details see the www.kwash.org.uk website. So hands off our hospitals Minister.
